Subject: Staining for Fat Laden Macrophages in Bronchio-Alveolar lavages

Dear Histonetters

 

Can you help? In my laboratory we are currently reviewing our procedure for the fixing of BAL preparations for fat laden macrophages. Does anybody else stain for fat laden macrophages? What preparation techniques and fixatives are you using?

 

Thanks in advance
