Subject: [Histonet] Pig endothelium
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
