[Histonet] FSGO

[Gayle Callis]

I used to have fish gelatin, a green gooey super thick liquid purchased 
from Sigma but it was not oily.

I have not used it for routine IHC non serum blocking step in lieu of BSA, 
a normal serum or casein blocking but some people in EM swear by it.

You may want to check up on some immuno-electron microscopy methods, that 
is where I have seen it used.

I know it was discussed many years ago on Histonet, a keyword search may 
bring it up.  Fish gelatin rather than fish skin gelatin.
