[Histonet] GFP and B-Gal positive control slides

[Koelling, Ray]

Rebecca,
For GFP, that can be a can of worms.  For B-Gal this is what we do.  From
mouse vendor, get a Tie-2/lacZ transgenic mouse strain.  Are readily
available commercially.  Tie-2 is expressed in endothelium and the lacZ
reporter gene is co-expressed there.  Take any tissue (kid/liver/whatever).
B-Gal antibodies show beautifully stained endothelium.

Subject: [Histonet] GFP and B-Gal positive control slides

Does anyone know where I can buy, or can suggest an easy way to make  
positive control slides for GFP and B-Gal.

We have use AAV contstructs with either GFP or LAC-Z and injected  
into mice.  We have sectioned the tissue and would like to look for  
positive GFP or B-Gal.  It would be nice to have a positive control  
slide.  We plan on visualizing both with and without antibody  
amplification.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank You.
Rebecca
