 Thank you Dr. Kiernan, Nice and scientific explanation how to prepare gelatin. I beleive that a lot of house wives and cooks know how to prepare meet or fish jelly (long bouling of the bones with cartilage and tendons). very popular in russian or easter europian cuisine, called "cholodez" which neans "cold".best regards Galina DeynekoNovartis, Cambridge, MA 617-871-7613 w

I agree with Rachel. I would not be quite as worried about the temperature change if indeed they maintain no higher than -13 degrees C and would not be freeze/thawing, but what does your ice cube tray look like after about a month or more in a frost-free freezer?

You need to explain "treated tissue". 

Gelatin is collagen that has been boiled until the protein has lost all its fibrous nature and changed into a water-soluble protein. Gelatin is made permanently insoluble by adequate formaldehyde fixation. It is stained by anionic dyes (such as eosin in the H&E method), but it does not show as fibres when you look at the section or smear through a microscope. 

If this doesn't answer your question, please explain your problem and involve your boss in future email exchanges.

That's interesting, I didn't realize gelatin is the water soluable protein of collagen. No experience with staining gelatin, but have you considered MassonTrichrome. 

It is used to differentiate collagen from smooth muscle...

Good Morning Netters,

While running immunofluorescence stains, how dark is dark enough?

I have worked in labs where we did them in full room light, almost complete
darkness (developing negative/film darkness), and somewhere in between.

I feel that dimmed lights are good enough.

What does the histology collective think?

Thanks in advance!

Paula  :-)

Thank you for your e-mail.

Apologies for not explaining "treated tissue". We treat the tissue with
high intensity focused ultrasound. It can raise the temperature of tissue
to boiling in a localized area (millimeter areas). I could use a
biochemical assay for collagen and gelatin if we treat a large area, but
with single lesions I was hoping I could visualize this. In some treated
areas we are almost resulting in liquefaction of the tissue. I am
interested to see if we are turning the collagen to gelatin in these areas
and what part of the lesion this is happening.

Thank you for your thoughts
Yak-Nam

As long as your microscope has a good Hg source light, it is not really necessary to darken the room so much.�I used to have a very small room were the microscope was located but later on we moved the microscope to another area were we did not dim the light at all and the vision was OK.Everything depends on the circumstances and how comfortable�you are with the image.There are no rules�on this subject.Ren� J.�

Hi Allison,

I would suggest going to the CDC website and pulling from there, they should have the latest recommendations.  thanks

If you are using an automated stainer the plexiglas cover that they all have will block UV light. For instance we run all our IF in a Dako stainer with the slightly tinted Plexiglas and have not had any problems.  If staining manually in  a tray, covering with something to block light is ok. On the other hand, I can't really say I've had a problem even with no light blocking. The incubations are usually so short it may not make a difference. Consider that the focused UV light in the fluorescence scope is thousands of times stronger than any overhead tube and it still takes a while for the signal to dim.

Any thoughts or insights appreciated.
