Can anyone help me find a IHC stain the is performed on the disease Blue Nevus. I am having a hard time finding out if Fontana Masson is the correct one to use and also a possible case study to reference this disease to. I had to reasearch this disease for a school project. If anyone could help me, your participation would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hi Gayle:
As I was mentioning to Andi, I myself cannot find a reference for the
protocol.
I was taught the stain at the Massachusetts General Hospital back in 1984.
(It was simply typed on a 3 x 5 file card)
I took a copy of the recipe with me when I left the General in 1986.
The neuropathology lab was liquidated some years ago, and it's functions
integrated into general pathology.
Perhaps, someone in Surgical Pathology or Special Stains at MGH could
tract it down.
The main number at MGH is 617-726-2000
It is very interesting though that the exact same "differentiator" of
the Luxol (1% hydroquinone, 5% sodium sulfite, aqueous) is used for the
reducing agent in the Bodian protein-silver stain.
We used it for both purposes at the MGH., although I use the
Bielschowsky silver stain instead here at McLean
One can find find a reference for the Bodian, at least, in Sheehan's
"Theory and Practice of Histotechnology", second edition,, page 256.
By the way, In my first email I did not mean to disparage the use of
Lithium Carbonate.
Every version of the stain I have seen in the Histology books uses Lithium.
So it must work perfectly well in most labs, such as your own.
I see my protocol as just an alternative to Lithium just as the Lithium
would definitely be an alternative for me if I had problems with the
Hydroquinone.
Thank you for the detailed description of the Lithium Carbonate
technique; I will keep it on hand.
Tim

I have 3 different CD133/AC133 antibodies. I can't get even one of them
to work. I'll have to buy the one you suggest.

Which cd133 are you using? If you are using the antibody from Miltyeni
I
suggest you toss it and get the one from Abcam rab polyclonal ab19898, I
use
this at 1:100 overnight after HIER steam in HpH buffer for 25 min. with
rab
labeled polymer hrp detection for 45 min. and dab for 15 min.
This antibody as well as many others has been discussed on the NSH IHC
Resource Group list serve, to join this group go to www.ihcrg.org and
submit
a membership form online. We have a list serve similar to histonet that
focuses just on IHC/Molecular Diagnostics isssues.

I've never used this antibody- I was just suggesting a general technique
that I have seen work with overnight incubation rather than with a 1
hour
incubation, e.g.with Pecam 1.

Hi Everyone:
I have a serious problem with lines/splits forming in my 5 micron
sections as they come off the microtome.
I just started using Paraplast Xtra Tissue Embedding Medium.
My infiltrating wax is regular Paraplast.
My disposable blades are Surgipath high profile Teflon coated blades.
The microtome is a Microm HM 355S.
I cut human brain tissue exclusively.
I had been using Surgipath embedding media.
I decided to try the X-tra because I had been having problems with the
sections being thick and thin on just one side of the section.
Also the wax seeming to be thicker (more opaque) on one side of the block.
The blocks of tissue also were not laying flat in the mold, hence a lot
of trimming after.
There was some problem with lines even with the Surgipath but it was
intermittent., and not nearly as bad as the X-tra.
I notice that trimming requires more physical effort with the Paraplast
X-tra.
And I have had much more of a problem with lines than with the Surgipath
Embedding Media.
Does it have a higher % of plastic in it.
I cleaned out the reservoir on the embedding center and played with the
knife angle but to no avail.
I am not sure if the lines have to do with the wax or the blades or both.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.
