Kim,
HOPE =Hepes-glutamic acid buffer mediated Organic solvent Protection Effect.
Tissues are placed in this non-fixative buffer at 4C O/N, then
fixed/dehydrated in acetone and transferred to paraffin.

OK, I know someone on this list must know the answer to this. What is HOPE
fixation? I am reading a journal article that refers to this procedure. I
have done a Pubmed search, and I can find several references to it, but no
actual protocol on how to make the stuff up (maybe you need to buy it?).
I am not sure if I would ever be trying this method, but inquiring minds
want to know!
Thanks,
Kim
