[Histonet] radiation damage to nerves

[Patsy Ruegg]

Does anyone have any ideas on how we might demonstrate radiation injury to
peripheral nerves near the prostate (in a canine model).  we would like to
evaluate demyelinating changes and it has been suggested we might do this by
embedding the tissue in GMA plastic and cutting 2 micron sections and doing
toludine blue stain?????  We are trying to avoid osmium and EM for this.
Any ideas?

 

Regards,

 

Patsy
