Hi 

I am supervising a masters student who is immunohistochemically staining
sheep skin - fancy finding that in New Zealand! However the keratin in the
skin is staining positive also and masking any staining we might see.  We
are staining for viral inclusions. Can anybody tell me how to block keratin
staining in the skin?  I have read this information somewhere and cannot
find it now.

Can anybody help me please?
Thanks
Maree
