LuAnn:
I cannot find the reference, but there should be a
publication out there by R. Rudelli, et al, mid to
late '80s on the use of Thioflavin S for staining
amyloid. I have used the method, even have a
published paper somewhere in the archives but not
immediately available (and my Reference Manager is not
responding tonight!!!). Thio S is fluorescent stain,
similar wavelengths for fluoroscein (again as I
recall-this was a long time ago--you know, 12 years or
more). It is very sensitive, and is a lot easier to
visualize than Congo Red--no more hunting for that
"apple green birefringence". I'll try to find the
reference and method over the weekend.
