Hi Dianne,
we used to use a NBT method on unfixed heart slices to determine
whether death was caused by myocardial infarct. Slices of tissue
were incubated and then examined macroscopically.Infarcted
tissue was red and normal tissue blue. I think that it "stained " for
succinyl dehydrogenase, but I would be happy to be corrected on
that one.
I don't have the method to hand - don't work in that department
anymore, but If this is the sort of thing you are looking for, I am
sure that I will be able to get the reference to you, should no-one
else be able to help.
Best regards
