[Histonet] Mucin staining

Tue Mar 3 14:22:33 CST 2009

Someone please refresh my memory.  I am looking for a mucin stain to stain
cell lines embedded in agarose then formalin fixed and embedded in paraffin.
I know mucicarmine might work, but I¹ve also heard about using alcian blue.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
