[Histonet] A Call for Help from Melbourne/OZ
Dear Histonetters,
My name is Scott Sinclair, and I am a PhD student in the Department
of Genetics (@ The University of Melbourne/Australia) and am hoping
to get your advice on the following:
I have been using a fluorescent dye (Zinpyr) to try to image Zinc in
the roots of Arabidopsis seedlings/plant, using a confocal
microscope. I'm also interested in looking at paraffin sections of
roots, therefore wondering if there is a 'fixing' process that will
leave the intracellular localisation of Zinc undisturbed while
examining sections/Will routine fixation in 10% NBF or 70% ETOH be
fine? I know you have to fix sections before looking at protein or
DNA/RNA, and was wondering if it can be done for ions also?
Regards,
Scott Sinclair (sent through Bruce)
