Their "procedure" was so far removed from the real thing, I didn't even
realize that it was an immuno procedure they were trying to portray!  I
still love the show even if those fellows can do every thing under the
sun; the production budget must not allow for actors portraying
technologists!

Subject: [Histonet] Anyone catch "House" the other night?


Dr. House and his colleagues were doing immuno on Tuesday night!
Procedure:

Take large chunk of heart tissue which has not been frozen or in
fixative,
but in a petri dish in the fridge, and flop it on to your microscope
slide.
Put the slide with the  large chunk of tissue on it under the scope.
Add
"one microlitre of immunoperoxidase" to the tissue.  Look into scope.
If it
turns red, it's positive.  

I wish our immuno were that easy and quick.  Get a Histo consultant on
staff, please!  :o)

P.S. And how about those doctors who do biopsies, ultrasounds, draw
blood,
and then test it all?  In evening gowns and tuxes?
