Subject: [Histonet] GMS on Toenail

Hello to all in histoland.  We have a stubborn toenail that keeps coming off when we try to do a GMS stain on the ventana machine.  Any suggestions on how to keep the section on the slide during the staining procedure.

Hello Allison, we do PAS and GMS on toenails just about every day since we have a nail clinic in our department. First we dip our slides in Stay On solution (SurgiPath) and allow them to dry then we soak the faced nail block in 4% Ammonium Hydroxide for 45-60 minutes before we cut a ribbon and place on slides. We let the slides sit in a 70 degree oven for about 45 minutes, we Deparaffinize, hydrate to DH2O and we stain on the Artisan Special Stain stainer. Works every time. If it keeps falling off you might need to do it manually. Good Luck

About pinning specimens so they fix flat: Margaret Horne notes the use
of dental wax. I've used it to make small "boats" for the rather
exacting procedure of pinning muscle biopsy specimens for electron
microscopy. Here a 1 to 2 mm bundle of longitudinal fibers has to be
gently stretched to its resting length, pinned in the "boat", and
promptly fixed in glutaraldehyde.

One technologist noted that she had a young pathologist who was "wet
behind the ears" and wanted to pin specimens, and was looking to the
older pathologists to bring him in line to The Way We've Always Done
It. I try to remain "wet behind the ears", though after nearly 50
years of occasionally pinning specimens I find myself a little dry.

We continue to lose skills in the gross room. Today I'm working with a
service that has almost no ability to handle calcified tissue - I need
to go to the hardware store and buy a hacksaw to replace the worn-out
Satterlee saw, which I think was gathered up off a Civil War
battlefield.

The way we got around that problem was to do a manual PAS stain instead!

Hello all,

I am new to your listserve.  I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Leica Peloris processor.  Specifically, has anyone noticed if the higher processing temperatures has affected any IHC staining results or FISH results.

Looking forward to responses,

In my experience, no.  Our current IHC/ISH is as good, if not better than what we were getting with our former processors.

We have 4 peloris processors, run many IHC and FISH stains, none of them
have had any negative effects due to the increased temperatures.  The
increased temps aren't that high, 45 degrees for all the liquids (we use
xylene) and 65 degrees for the paraffins.

Good luck

Patrick

Hi,
     Strange issue with your Ki-67. I don't know what would do that unless
it was non-specific background. Is it nuclear or cutoplasmic?
     If you are working in mice or other animals you could try labeling
them with BRDu then detecting it with an anti BRDu antibody. Humans don't
like being injected with BRDu then being sacrifices but lawyers do. Also
Cleaved Caspase 3 works nicely and is probably more specific to apoptosis
than Tunel which also picks up necrosis.

Have a great weekend,
Amos
