[Histonet] Helicobacter pylori

From:"Taylor, Jean"

Has anyone who's using the immuno for helicobacter encountered known
positive cases by H&E to stain negative for immuno? I'm just wondering
how sensitive the antibody is. The cases I've tested with many helico
stain up nicely, but about 10 cases that were diagnosed as
rare/occasional/scattered helicobacter are negative. I'm using the Dako
antibody and have done testing with enzyme digestion as well as antigen
retrieval, LSAB+ and EnVision+. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

I want to thank everybody who responded to my message titled..Need
Input. I
work for the DOD and I miss simply having a system in place. I agree one
has
to be flexible, but when you work with military, they are entitled to 1
hr
lunch and 1 hour of PT. My tech works 7-4 and I work 6-2. I embed, she
cuts
and stains, I gross, accession, order supplies, admit bodies in and out
of
the morgue, set up for autopsies, frozens, and when my tech has to get
pulled to do her other command duties, it leaves me holding the bag.  It
does get over whelming, and every 2-3 yrs, I get new pathologists
rotating
through. I have worked with 7 pathologists in 6 yrs, and reservists, and
this one I just do not know what to think. Just keeping an open mind.
Thanks
again everybody. Be thankful you are in the civilian world.

 

Heather

Louise,

If you are staining only a few slides(about 10),a plastic slide box(100
count) works well. Place slides flat across the top. You can close the
lid, and keep them moist!

Sounds like you both work hard...I have been on both sides of the

Just my two cents...
