Dear All,
Does anyone have any experience with staining pig endothelium, specifically
keeping rings of blood vessels alive?
I am collecting fresh tissue from the slaughterhouse and incubating it with
tumour necrosis factor to induce VCAM-1 expression. However, I suspect that
the tissue quickly loses viability and this is why I can¹t visualise any
VCAM with IHC.
Does anyone have any tips for keeping the rings of tissue
going/fixing/antigen retrieval?
Many thanks
