RE: control tissue for TUNEL

From:"Monson, Frederick C."

Why not the epiphysial plate in a long bone from a neonatal mouse (Sorry!)
that still has poorly, but partly, calcified tissue or from one of the mice
you are using.  If the mice are young, the more terminal growth zones should
provide continuous, predictable, TUNEL positivity.
