[Histonet] Ebola

[James Watson]

Back in the 80 NIH did extensive studies on CJD,  their protocol requires 24 hours in formalin, 24 hours in formic acid, followed by 48 hours in formalin, then paraffin processing.  Worked with CJD at Frederick Cancer Research in collaboration with the group from NIH.  If I find the publications I will forward them.

If formalin didn't kill CJD, what did you use? Just curious.
