Jenny,

There is a method I've seen (but never done) for doing NADH diaphorase
histochemistry staining on gross tissue sections of heart to determine where
infarctions occurred. NADH diaphorase will stain tissue blue that was living
and will not stain dead (infarcted) tissue.

If you have a copy of "Muscle Biopsy:  A Practical Approach" by Dubowitz,
1985, I believe you'll find the method there.

Dear Histonetters,
Does anyone have any experience in the staining of so called dead and live
tissue? If so is there a specific stain to identify the difference and if
there is could you be so kind as to give me the name of the article or the
method involved. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
