[Histonet] Autofluorescence from RBC

[Randolph-Habecker, Julie]

Hey folks,

We are doing immunofluorescence on some paraformaldehyde-fixed
paraffin-embedded mouse lung that has been subjected to chemical injury. As
a result there is a great deal of hemorrhage. We have been using some
techniques to reduce autofluorescence from a paper suggested on histonet
(Baschong et al, JHC 49: 1565, 2001) however, the RBC are still very
fluorescent. Any other suggestions?????

Thanks!!

Julie
