Give you an amyloid control?
Are you mad?
You want us to lose our jobs and be splashed over the cover of the tabloids?

 Is there a kind soul out there that could possibly provide me with 
some amyloid control material (primary or secondary), preferably in 
paraffin block form or as a few freshly cut sections. I have a case of 
possible amyloidosis in an experimental mouse and need to 
confirm this, so mouse tissue would probably be more appropriate, 
although "amyloid is amyloid" regardless of species? (or am I 
wrong!). I know this type of request is becoming more difficult with 
the various restrictions that apply, and will of course provide 
postage, or if you live in an exotic location I will come and collect.
D'ont let me down people!
Regards,
Terry.
