[Histonet] Slides for mouse rib

[Randolph-Habecker, Julie]

Folks,

We are having a heck of a time keeping mouse rib on a slide during
antigen retrieval and IHC. Currently we are cutting the rib on gold plus
slides and baking at 60 C for 1 hour. Then the slides are air dried for
several days before staining. This works fine for our human can canine
bone and for mouse femur. However, the amount of bone on these mouse
ribs is so thin, comes right off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Julie
