Re: [Histonet] Hematoxylin staining of frozen samples, where are the nuclei?
Guillermo,
Tissues go through a long procedure with immuno and the most detrimental for
all tissue components is the heat retrieval and to a lesser degree enzyme=20
digestion. The less well fixed and processed tissue suffers most: connective
tissue is distorted and nuclei stain very poorly.
Hope this explains your problem,
