[Histonet] Calcium stains

[Emily Lockman]

I work in a research facility in Minneapolis, MN. I am trying to locate
information on IHC stains for calcium. If possible, I would like to know
if there are stains available for osteocytes, osteoclasts, and
osteoblasts. If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate
it.

 

Additionally, if there is a way to test for the gender of cells, for
example, if a piece of bone marrow from a male donor is implanted into a
female, is there a way to see which cells are from the male vs. female?
