[Histonet] Re: Neutrophil staining

[Bob Richmond]

Hans B Snyder at Histologistics in Worcester, Massachusetts asks:

>>I am looking to stain neutrophils using special stains and antibodies in
mice tissue. I wanted your opinion about the best methods to do so. I am
thinking of using the May-Grünewald Giemsa and T-blue for specials and
myeloperoxidase and Ly6G for the antibodies.<<

I haven't done it and don't know if it works on mice, but histochemical
staining for chloroacetate esterase is extremely simple to do, and supposed
to be quite specific.
