Hello Histonetters!
 
Has anyone ever used the Genta stain for Helicobacter pylori?   I'm
trying to 
find a protocol for this method, so any help will be very much
appreciated!
 
Thanks

I've been working on Herovica's Method for differentiating
pre-collagen(young) verses mature collagen using varies combinations of
methy blue and van gieson's.  Luna has a modified method on pg 453 of
his "Histopathologic Methods...."  The regular Herovica stain calls for
tissue fixed in formol-acetic-alcohol.  10% NBF leaves the muscle a blue
to blue-green and very little red (mature collagen).  I tried post
fixation in the FAA for 1 hr w/o allot of difference.
Bouins post-fixation seems to work best.  Certainly not getting the
results as outlined.  Is there anyway to check the saturated picric
acid?  Any ideas or suggestion would be appreciated, especially from
those familiar with this stain.
 
Steve

If I remember right Neomarkers/Lab Vision Corp. has iNOS antibodies.  I
used
them maybe 1 1/2 years ago but never got great results from the stain.
I ran
the test numerous times and was unable to solve the problem.  If you
decide to
use Neomarkers and are able to achieve good results please send me your
secret.
 Good luck.

Question:  is he planning to do EM on these tissues? If he had used 
paraformaldehyde, your sectioning would be much easier -  but if he is
also 
doing EM - you can try some things to counteract the dry/brittle brain.

  In general, gluteraldehyde creates some friable, brittle tissues when 
these are processed and embedded in paraffin. Check to see if you are 
processing too long as long dehydrations, etc and heat from paraffin 
contributes to the problem.

A good long soak in ice water or solid ice block with water on top after

trimming might help but be sure to not retrim the soak away, you have to

get the first sections off the knife.  A warm water or room temperature 
soak the going onto ice water for a time may help too, brain sometimes 
needs a bit of help.

Dear Tom,

If I had to do Helicobacter, I would vote for IHC too!!!  Very specific
for 
identification of Helicobacter in human tissues, I only wished I had it
for 
murine animal model work but no antibody was available - boo hoo!!!
There 
is a nice method published in Histologic, Sakura Finetek website on
doing 
this IHC, and it was wonderful.

We are about to cut a brain that was injected with
WGA-HRP for tract tracing. We haven't done this
for quite a while (decades?) and don't remember
if it is possible to delay processing after cutting.
If it is possible, how long can we delay, and what
solution should the cut tissue be stored in?
We plan to stain using the Olucha molybybdate
modification to the Mesulam TMB procedure.

I have a colleague looking to buy some historesin.  Apparently it is

Is there a company here that can sell it, or a similar product?

I don't recall plastic type of Historesin since it has been out of 
circulation for a while in USA,  but if this is GMA, buy Technovits 7100

If it is the methylmethacrylate, MMA then buy Technovits 9100.

Electron Microscopy Sciences sells both kits.  These are excellent
products.

Hello!
We want to implement a database for specimens we receive in our lab.
We would use this database starting with logging in specimens and ending
with archiving of specimens.  It would be used to track when various
steps
(gross photos, processing, staining, etc) have occurred and by whom.
We do want a system that is user friendly.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks for the help.....

Dear All,
I really need some advice regarding an ongoing intense background
problem.
We use FFP sections of mouse liver.
We are using an immuno kit called Zymed Histomouse Max Kit (It is a HRP-

DAB one).
Our primary ab is mouse anti human VEGF (1:1000).
The kit is called a BROAD SPECTRUM kit because it is meant to be able to
be 
used for mouse, rabbit, rat and guinea pig primaries.
The secondary antibody is not completely explained in the kit but I
think 
it is of goat host species.
Question: If it is broad spectrum does this mean that the secondary 
antibody is a mixture of different antibodies?
The kit contains its own non specific block, with no details of what it 
actually is.
Question: If the secondary ab is raised in goat, is this non specific
block 
normal goat serum? If not, what could it be?
We know that when I incubate the tissue with DAB only, we get endogenous

peroxidase staining which is pretty much abolished with H2O2 block.
We know that when we omit the primary antibody and keep all the other 
layers, we get intense background staining of the sinusoidal
(endothelial) 
lining of practically all the sinusoids, and we get brown staining in 
plasma cells, macrophages, connective tissue and other cells within
vessels.
Question: Omission of non specific blocking reagent showed increased 
background staining. Does this mean that the blocking agent is actually 
blocking some of the background but not all? Why not?
We know that when we omit both the primary antibody and the non specific

block then we get background staining.
Question: What does this mean?
We know if we omit the secondary antibody only, we get no staining.
Question: What does this mean?
I would greatly appreciate any input into this problem which has been 
plaguing us for a while now.
I hope someone can help, I cant beleive what a great wealth of knowledge

there is on this histonet list.
Cathy Malcontenti-Wilson

Which antibody are you using?  We have had great success with Santa Cruz

(goat
polyclonal) until I ordered a new lot this past month.  When I called 
them, they
indicated to me that they were having problems with their goat,
literally. 
 I
guess it had stopped producing antibodies to CD31 that work in IHC
(interestingly enough, they still work in Westerns).  They hope to have 
the
problem resolved within the next month, with a new goat.

I am having a problem getting my CD31 to work.  The protocol was for an
overnight incubation and pepsin pretreatment.  I couldn't get it to work
this way so I altered it a bit by using trilogy for AR and a two hour
incubation for the primary ab.  Does anyone have any ideas?  This seemed

to
work well for a while but once again, I'm having problems with it.  Any
input would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The Technovit 8100 is the same as JB-4 Plus which has a second polymer
to 
make the GMA remain clearer and somewhat less brittle.  As Don was kind 
enough to give you the number for EBS I shall not repeat and you can
reach 
Polysciences at 800-523-2575.

Hi all,
I'm starting a new experiment with rat mesentery artery looking for
inducible nitric oxide synthase
(iNOS, eNOS, and nNOS).

What companies would carry this antibody that would work on FFPE rat
tissue.

Also, what would be a good positive control?

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Pedro

I purchased it from BD Biosciences from San Diego, CA   cat# 612110
I pretreat with DakoCytomation's Target Retrieval Solution. and use it
at 1:50 incubating for 15 minutes room temp.
Works nicely but there's not much in the vial and I am looking to Santa

Santa Cruz Cat. sc-13055
Good Luck.

Hello everyone
 
I have been looking for some reagents for guinea pig for both ELISA and
IHC for IgG2a and IgG1.  I did find a source for the IgG2a through
Nordic Immuno Reagents.  Has anyone had any dealings with them?  They
have several antibodies against guinea pig IgG2a all derived from
different species (sheep, goat and rabbit).  I was guessing that the
rabbit antibody would be nice since I could use a polymer detection
system if necessary.  Any suggestions of a different vendor or anything
else would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.

of
a drowning victim.  The lung tissue has granular debris from a muddy

The pathologist wants this demonstrated but it is virtually impossible

If I remember right Neomarkers/Lab Vision Corp. has iNOS antibodies.  I
used

I ran
the test numerous times and was unable to solve the problem.  If you

 Good luck.

Now there's a unique problem! No, sand really doesn't section very well.
How
about cutting a thick section?  A 20 or 30 micron section may not be
suitable for cellular detail, but it might contain enough of the
material to
demonstrate it adequately; and while the section might be full of
striations, hopefully the striations might not be deep enough to shread
the
ribbon.  Also, try to get the earliest section you can get, while knife
damage is minimal. Use a fresh section of knife edge, and start rotating
the
microtome before the block touches the knife, so you can get the first
couple of sections off the block face.  If that doesn't work, your
pathologist will probably have to demonstrate the debris by having the
lung
x-rayed.

Hello,
 
Just a general question to help increase my knowledge:
 
If I had an antibody that was conjugated to biotin -- say for example, a
goat anti-mouse P-selectin (biotin) -- can I just take a rabbit
anti-goat conjugated to AP and run IHC that way -- hopefully avoiding
the ABC step and background OR does the biotin from the primary Ab block
secondaries from coming in?
 
Thanks.

Yes, you do not need more biotin in the system.  When you work with 
biotinylated primaries, all you need to do is use Strepavidin-HRP or 
Strepavidin-AP, followed by the appropriate chromogen.

You eliminate the secondary conjugated to biotin completely, and also
the 
ABC complex, and but be sure to use a good reliable Strepavidin-HRP or 
AP.  Southern Biotechnology has these as does Biosource/TAGO.  The
primary 
conjugated to biotin provides all the biotin you will need.

One of the perks of working with biotinylated primaries - it shortens
the 
protocol!

IF you use Vectors ABC complex, DON"T or you will experience loss of 
sensitivity and have poor staining.  You will still need to do the 
appropriate blocking, i.e. avidin/biotion (OR Strepavidin/biotin block
from 
Vector)  normal serum, proper diluents with serums, etc. to avoid 
background problems.

We do biotinylated primaries almost exclusively and with great success
for 
murine CD markers IHC and IFA (using Molecular Probes Strepavidin-Alexa 
fluorophore conjugates.)  If you want to discuss this more, contact me 
privately.

Hi all,

I'm looking for pictures of sectioning, staining and processing
artifacts. Anyone know where I might be able to find some on the web?


Also, looking for a reference for making cell blocks from body fluids.
Anyone know of a good source I can provide my histo students?

Many thanks to you all,
Denise

We've just been asked to start turning in our histology procedures to be

included in our labs daily productivity.  How should we report our
workload; # 
of cassettes, blocks, slides, special stains ?  Any information  will
surely be 
appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Kids!

Was just wondering if any of you have a good supplier of rabbit anti 
rat Ab's that are mouse absorbed (for real).  Supposedly I purchased 
one but, sans primary antibody present,  it makes my mouse tissue light 
up like a xmas tree.... talk about false positive!

thanks in advance.

Chris

The AFIP manual (3rd edition, 1968, I don't know about other editions) 
has photos of artifacts after the last numbered chapter.
For electron microscopy, there is a book called "An Atlas of Artifacts",

I don't remember the author off the top of my head.
I can't offer any suggestions for your body fluid question.

You might be interested in one of the following, if you can find a copy:

Atlas of Microscopic Artifacts and Foreign Materials by Yeh, Brooks &
Pietra

An Atlas of Artifacts Encountered in the Preparation of Microscopic
Tissue
Sections by Thompson & Luna

You might find them through www.bookfinder.com

We do a fair amount of cell block work in our lab, and have several
protocols for different kinds of fluids and cell suspensions. Is there
anything in particular you are looking for?

Sorry, I didn't specify, but I'm looking for artifact pictures ON-LINE,
so my students can access them from home.
Thanks,
