I have a post-grad who wants to use sheep anti human alpha 2HS
glycoprotein on ground sections of teeth.
I am not making this up! He has etched the ground sections for
various times (seconds) in EDTA to "get rid of the abrasive and other
muck and to open up the dentinal tubules".
The teeth had been fixed in Trumps fluid (formalde/glataralde). His
secondary ab is rabbit anti-sheep and his method employs DAB.
Apart from not doing any controls in his first run, the teeth
sections are a pleasant sun tan brown (at least they are now I've
destained the homogenous haematoxylin cover he first applied - and I
don't know whether 1% acid alcohol removes precipitated DAB!)
Here is the bottom line question: anyone used anti alpha 2HS
glycoprotein (or other antibody) on ground sections of teeth with
success? If so, with which Abs and what results and how did you do
it????
I have my astonishment look ready on my face and my "I do not believe
it" expression ready for being amazed by the histonet community's
ability to provide advice on anything, once again!
