Hi All,

I have a pathologist that is interested in labeling bone marrow biopsies with the antibiotic tetracycline and then using fluorescence to visualize. Is anyone familiar with this technique? I found a reference for this technique in Sheehan for methacrylate embedded sections, but I wanted to know if this could be done on paraffin processed tissue? If you have any other references or procedures for this technique, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
