[Histonet] Protocol for DAPI staining on paraffin sections

[Alida Bailleul]

Dear Histonet list,

I have made some paraffin blocks of demineralized bone and cartilage. I
would like to stain paraffin slides with DAPI (or another DNA stain).
Does DAPI staining (or other fluorescent DNA stain) work well on paraffin
sections? Does anyone have a protocol they would like to share?

I am assuming that histological stains (like the Feulgen stain would work
better?). I could also try both.

Thank you in advance

All the best

Alida
