[Histonet] Treponema tissue blocks

Tue Oct 1 10:38:23 CDT 2024

Just speaking for myself, the work is piling up, and the older I get, the slower I seem to move.  I am still here, but just not a lot of time for the fun things!

 Still here John. I think a lot of people have joined histology Facebook groups. Maybe could also be a part of why there aren't as many contributors as there used to be.
Have a good day!!

Dear Bob,
Good to see that you're still histonetting!  Until I saw your recent message I was contemplating abandoning the web site after reading and occasionally contributing for more than 30 years.
The current abundance of emails addressed to "histopeeps" is insulting, especially to professionally qualified technologists. Relia, whoever you are, give us all a break.
We need more correspondence of the kind we had in earlier decades, about the technology.
Hopefully you and I are not the only remaining elderly histonetters.
Others, young or old, please show yourselves.
Cheers,  John Kiernan

In reply to Ni Nie's request:

The best source of Treponema pallidum control tissue used to be necrotic liver from necropsies of syphilitic stillbirths. These were only 25 years in the past when I was a pathology resident in the 1960s. Possibly some of this material is still around. As congenital syphilis returns, there might be such material available today - one such case could supply the world for years, after all.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis control tissue can be obtained from necropsies on monkeys with tuberculosis, most commonly rhesus macaques in India.
