[Histonet] process formalin-fixed tissues from animals infected with a virus

[Greg Dobbin]

Very interesting paper John! Thank you. I wish the authors had also
experimented with higher concentrations of formaldehyde (eg 10% formalin).
Might one infer that 10% would be even more efficient in inactivating viral
infectivity than 2 and 4%? 🤔
Cheers
Greg
