[Histonet] BrdU and EM?

[Mezey Szilvia]

 Hello All,

 I'm trying to do BrdU staining (in paraformaldehyde fixed, free-
floating sections) and preserve the ultrastructure of the tissue for 
EM at the same time. HCl works fine for denaturing DNA for BrdU-
ICC but doesn't leave much of the tissue for EM. DNase would be 
more EM-friendly but doesn't penetrate the tissue enough.
 
 Does anybody know a method that could provide a fair enough 
compromise between BrdU and EM? Maybe by increasing the 
penetration of DNase?

 Best regards to you all,

 Szilvi
