I have approached by our Pathologists about working up the Hep Par 1
antibody and I was wondering if anyone out there is currently doing it,
and if so, could you recommend a vendor, conditions, etc.  Thanks for

Zinc-formalin mixtures do not contain mercuric
chloride, so you will not need to do an iodine and
thiosulphate treatment of the sections. 

Ask your supplier to tell you the composition of
his "zinc formalin". Is it an acidic (zinc
sulphate or chloride) or a neutral (zinc
salicylate) formulation? Most zinc formalin
mixtures are acidic, and it may make a difference
if the anion is sulphate or chloride. The
published literature is clouded by trade secrecy,
as are the web sites of those who make the
mixtures. 

The acidic zinc formalin principle is simple:
combine a protein coagulant with a cross-linker.
All the classical late 19th century fixatives did
that, and more. Formalin pigment can be expected
if
tissues are stored for a long time in an acidic
formaldehyde solution.

Hope this helps.

So, how is this going to affect my tissue?  Is there any post-treatment (such
as removing mercury pigment on B-5 fixed tissue) that I need to perform?

Dear kjsavage <@t> buffalo.edu 

Methacarn is easy to make. It contains nothing
that could form a precipitate. Your email
indicates that you have all the ingredients
(chloroform, methanol, acetic acid). This is a
non-aqueous coagulant fixative, differing from
Carnoy only in having methanol instead of ethanol.
Fixatives of this kind contain no water.

Cloudiness or a precipitate 
might happen if an ingredient is wrong or if 
water gets into the mixture. Are your methanol and
acetic acid 95-100%? 

The advice to avoid plastic was good, because
chloroform attacks some plastic ware.

We use DAKO's Hepatocyte antibody, clone OCH1E5.  It's very easy to work
up on the Ventana stainers.

Martha,

We use Biocare's Hepatocyte Specific Antibody at 1:50 with a polymer DAB

Immunostain for a plasma protein such as albumin.
It's important to fix the tissue quickly, or
plasma will move out of the blood vessels. See
Mori et al (1991) Lab. Invest. 64:345-351; Fabian
(1992) J. Histochem. Cytochem. 40: 987-991; Loberg
& Torvik (1992) Acta path. microbiol. scand. 100:
431-436. I've seen this artifact in human brain,
with immunostaining for albumin, ceruloplasmin,
orosomucoid and IgG (unpublished). The time of
first formation of the BBB is still controversial
(far too much literature to mention here) and may
depend on the techniques used.

It really helps to get different opinions and perspectives to help one

Hi all,

First, "thank you" to everyone who responded to my please for help with 
the methacarn solution.  The problem was with the chloroform.  A 
chemist friend of mine clued me in to the problem.  

Most chloroform comes with ethanol added as a perservative.  But there 
are some with amylene as the preservative instead.  Sometimes they do 
not list it as an additive on the bottle, and you only find out when 
you call the company.  Filtering it out is an option.  But I guess now 
that I know what was happening I will just get the choloroform without 
amylene.

Thanks again to all for the helpful suggestions.

Thanks a lot for the great suggestions I got from several of you on the
histopathology of mouse small intestine.  There are a lot published
results of cytochorme c release detected by IHC and IF in mouse liver
and brain, but hardly anything in small intestine.  Does anyone have a
good protocol for cytochrome c release IHC or IF in mouse small
intestine that you can share?  Or it does not work at all?

Thanks again!!!

this is a link to Weizman Institute's GeneCards (www.genecards.org)
i entered GCK-like kinase and as best i can tell it believes that is the 
same as map kinase kinase kinase kinase 4?  regardless, if that is not the 
right one, you might go ahead and try to find it on there using your own 
criteria.  as you scroll down the page you will see expression as reported 
using any number of methodologies as well as links out with more information 
about the expression data.  there is also a site called iHOP that has tons 
of information about proteins.

Hi All,

Has anyone got any recommendations and/or advice on image analysis
systems?  We are looking to buy a new image analysis system to quantify
IHC and perform histometric measurements (although this may require a
second system).  Does anyone have a system they can recommend?  Or has
anyone looked into this field and can offer any advice.  Up to now,
we've looked into Chromavision, Zeiss & Ariol.  

Thanks in advance,

They don't like the Giemsa for this:  they want something that will make
the bugs pop out at you.

We have an Aperio system (http://www.aperio.com/), it scans the entire slide
at a 20X mag.  The resolution is absolutely amazing, we compared all of the
major brands mentioned below and this was by far the best system.  It also
comes with some nice image analysis software that can do pixel count,
nuclear, membrane and they can be modified to fit your specific needs.  We
have the T2 system that can scan 120 slides at a time.  It is definitely
worth looking into.

Jeanine:
  Between 1911 and 1945 there were 21 methods/variants developed for
rickettsiaeThe one by Wolbach (1919) stain nuclei and Rickettsiae blue and
cytoplasm red.
  Lépine's (1932) stain Rickettsiae red in pale brown cells. Many others are
variations of red agains blues (similar to Giemsa used for this purpose). I
prefer Wolbach's.
  Hope this will help.

I'm in the middle of doing alcian blue/alizarin red whole skeletal chick
preps and I have a question. The protocol I've chosen uses 95% ethanol for
the fixative. I've already fixed in PFA.  Is it possible to continue with the
protocol?  Are there any steps I should add?  Thanks, Amanda Boyce

be using is insect abdomen with its chitin exoskeleton. Any hints and

sectioning, that sort of thing. Or, is it Mollifix time again?
