Liz,

I am sending an attachment to you privately although for mouse eye IHC.  It 
was elegant and could be used for rat eyes, with some modifications for eye 
size, if needed.  The author was accessible via email also. They did no 
special permeabilization for cell surface markers but did use saponin 
permeabilization for their cytokine work for corneas on whole eye PLP fixed 
paraffin embedded sections.
