[Histonet] Re: effects of elevation on immunohistochemistry

[Dawson, Glen]

I don't know much about the possible effects of elevation on immunohistochemistry but I see another section being added to the CAP inspection checklist now.  Thanks alot Lisa.

Just kidding btw.  The obvious Biggie would be Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER).  I would suggest a pressure cooker in higher elevations to overcome this one.  My usual water bath HIER wouldn't be as effective with the lower boiling points seen in higher elevations.

Good Luck,
