[Histonet] IHC_swine vessels_cross reactivity

[Gayle Callis]

You can try to find the antibodies at SEROTEC, they can tell you what cross
reacts to swine from their cross reactivity chart.  This may be on their
website.  If the resin is Glycol methacrylate plastic, you will will have
poor success with immunostaining.  IF the tissue is embedded in
methylmethacrylate, you can use Neil Hands methods for retrieval, and
remove the plastic COMPLETELY.  This has been discussed on Histonet before,
you can do a search in Histonet archives.
