Linda,

The slides were sent to us, so I have no way of knowing their age.  The surgical numbers were from several years back and the glass slides were from various manufacturers.  They all stained the same intensity.

By the way, I don't charge for my time in answering questions from anyone who asks for help.

Jim

Jim,
 
Did you find there was a problem with oxidation?  A researcher has brought us a number of renal biopsy slides for VEGF staining, some which have been cut for a couple years and I presume stored at R. T., and I'm afraid we may have an issue with antigenicity of the epitope.  What do you think?
