[Histonet] Re: Amyloidosis control tissue

[Robert Richmond]

It's always been difficult to get amyloid control tissue. Amyloidosis
is a rather rare disease in the USA, and some cases simply do not
stain well.

I've asked this question on Histonet several times and no one has ever
responded: Amyloidosis (of the AA type I think) is rather easily
produced in mice and other small experimental animals. Why can't this
tissue be available as an amyloid control?

Seems that some enterprising person could make a little money this way.
