Monica -


The Klymkowsky lab has a trove of Xenopus protocols:


http://klymkowskylab.colorado.edu/


Their wax and cryo page also has the reference to the 1989 Methods in Cell Biology paper covering Xenopus histological methods.


If you can, leave the oocytes in the ovary - it is MUCH easier to handle a blob of them for embedding than single oocytes!

Hello all,

does anyone have a good protocol (if possible) for xenopuss oocyte
fixation+paraffin embedding or cryopreservation+OCT embedding?


Many thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Mònica
