[Histonet] Help regarding staining of BBB

[Roger Moretz]

A quick Google search for "BBB staining" brings up
over 400,000 hits.  I suspect a similar search on
PUBMED would bring up nearly as many (without some of
the dupicates and irrelevant hits in Google).  One of
the first papers I saw was from 1988 where they used
Evans Blue.  Most of the India Ink and Evans Blue
methods papers are from the 1950s and 1960s -- but I
don't know if there are any books with compilations of
the methods (there probably are--I just don't know
where).  EB is probably a better choice for light
microscopy, since it does label the endothelium.  Any
leakage of course will be evidence of damage to the
BBB.  I no longer have access to all my reprints and
reference manager, but this quick Google search shows
that there are more than one way to get answers.
