     Hi Histonetters!  Any suggestions for a good protocol to fix and decalcify
bone marrow aspirates prior to processing and embedding in paraffin for
subsequent immunohistochemistry.  I have not worked with bone/bone marrow in the
past; although I did consult Sheehan's Histotechnology book and realize that
most conventional decalcifying methods may destroy endogenous enzyme activity.
Any thoughts or ideas on the subject???  Thank you very much as always!!
