[Histonet] IHC unfixed human brain tissue

[Connolly, Brett M]

Neil,

You need to do some fixation. Hopefully they are mounted on charged
slides.

We routinely post-fix fresh-frozen human brain sections in cold
Acetone/ETOH (3:1) for 10 min and then proceed with the IHC staining.

Subject: [Histonet] IHC unfixed human brain tissue

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
