Hi Lynn,
 I originally started the Histogel question, I had a sample and wanted
to know what to expect. Since then I have run a test and am really
pleased with the results. I was able to orientate my teeny tiny mouse
carotids in the Histogel,  cool the Histogel,   process it and voila a
little cube of Histogel with my carotid perfectly orientated and ready
to embed. This is going to save me tons of time, not to mention
frustration. But I would like to have the same question answered..does
Histo gel  effect immuno staining?
