Dr. Lyon,
I use VEGF from Santa Cruz and it does react with rats.  I use zinc/formalin
fixation with formic acid decal for rat bones.  Never tried the
formail/picric acid though.  Contact me at work for more details.

Would like to know what antibodies most of you are using for vascular
endothelial growth factor.  I will be using human tissues that have been
formalin/picric acid fixed and frozen sections.  Ideally it would cross
react with rat but I am mainly interested in human at the moment.

Thanks
