> Hi Lynne,
> In our lab we have a log book at Accessioning that each physician/nurse/porter/MOA signs when dropping off specimens. We also encourage them to drop off a QC sheet with a patient label for each specimen that is dropped off. We check these to ensure we have received each specimen, and we date/time stamp them and keep them on record in case we need to refer back to them in the future (ie. In case a clinician claims they dropped off a specimen we can prove they did not).

Case in point - a physician's office says they dropped off a specimen and we have no record of it being accessioned.  I would like to track specimens dropped off and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

> I don?t do staining for this antibody, but have experience with IMF on frozen tissue and FFPE and have worked with the Leica BOND max and BOND-3.  If you would prefer IHC over IMF, you can search for a human anti-mouse, or human anti-rabbit antibody.  Abcam provides a polyclonal whole serum antibody that works on FFPE.  I grabbed this from their website: 
> Anti-PLA2R antibody (ab80054)
> 
> Since Abcam?s PLA2R antibody is a rabbit anti-human, you would need to create a modified DAB or modified RED protocol that doesn?t include the secondary antibody / linker step in your protocol prior to dispensing polymer.  The rest of your protocol can remain as it is.  
> 
> As you are using a Leica BOND, both ways are actually pretty easy to set up, either indirect IMF or using Leica?s DAB kit for IHC. You would just need to play around with retrieval times with both Citrate and EDTA to get the optimum staining pattern. Additional ancillaries may be added when necessary should you have any background stain that is hard to get out.

> Hi Karen-  I have also had problems getting tissue being stained for IHC markers to adhere to the slide.  The Potassium permanganate is really harse on the tissue (if you can get the sections to stay on).  Here is a trick I picked up at an NSH lecture that I have used successfully several times.
> 
> Run your IHC stains as usual.  Rinse well in water.  Do not counterstain with hematoxylin.  Stain with DiffQuik II for 30 seconds.  Rinse in water for a short period of time.  Differentiate with 10 dips each in 2 changes of 95% ETOH and 2 changes of 100% ETOH and then clear in xylene and coverslip.
> Results:  melanin pigment will turn green.  Brown DAB stain will be unaffected.  Other tissue elements will be stained a medium blue color.
> This method will also work for other Special Stains but I have not attempted to modify this method for use on "Red" stains.

> You are right. Bleaching is a "rough" procedure for the "survival" of sections and if on top of that you left the section overnight in DiH2O that is a recipe for disaster, as the one you experienced. Try to do the whole procedure during the same day.Additionally it seems to me that 6h in potassium permanganate is too much, you should check the condition of the sections every hour trying to minimize KMnO4?action?the least time possible.Ren?
