Hello,
I have used a viral vector to transduce liver and pancreatic tissues
in the mouse with EGFP and RFP. I have cut portions of the liver and
pancreas into small blocks and fixed overnight with NBF. What is the
best way to visualize the signal? I want to cut 30 micron sections,
as I only have access to a sliding microtome. Could someone
recommend a good, and hopefully inexpensive, mounting media for
fluorescence? I have a fairly strong signal but I am worried about
losing it if I use the wrong product. I am not very experienced with
fluorescence so I really don't know what to use.
Someone recommended Aqua PolyMount from polysciences.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Caroline
