[Histonet] IHC unfixed human brain tissue

[Rene J Buesa]

1- they are very delicate, so treat them accordingly!
2- you do not need to use antigen retrieval, since they have been sectioned frozen.
3- go directly to block→Ab→detection→chromogen→ H&E counterstain.
4- the times could be shorter than with FFPE sections.
5- wash very delicately.
6- dehydrate and cover as usual.

I have limited experience working with human brain tissue and would like to
stain some human brain sections that I received. They were not fixed, but were
flash frozen and sectioned on a cryostat, and mounted onto slides.

Could someone give me a brief run down of their standard methodological staining
procedure with unfixed human brain sections?

Much appreciated

Neil
