[Histonet] Control tissue for skin DIF

[Favara, Cynthia (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Luke, 

I had no idea even what this disease was and did and search sounds
terrible. Any way there is a Registry "National Epidermolysis Bullosa
Registry" you might contact to se if they have any samples. Stanford has
a lab that does a panel of immunoflourescent studies so they might be
helpful as well.

Good Luck!

Subject: [Histonet] Control tissue for skin DIF


   Hello,
   I  am trying to develop a protocol for doing direct
immunofluorescence
   testing  on  skin  for  bullous  disease.  I  have  a couple of
sample
   protocols  but  none  say  anything about positive control tissue.
I'm
   uncomfortable running the test on clinical specimens and reporting
out
   a  negative,  without  good  positive  controls. Does anyone know of
a
   commercial  source  for  positive  control tissue, or does anyone
have
   some  they  would  be  willing  to  share  for  development? Help
much
   appreciated.
   Thanks,
   Luke
