[Histonet] Cutting frozen fat
Hi all: I have a project that the researcher wants
frozen sections on mouse fat for immunofluorescence.
I froze mesenteric and epididymal fat at necropsy in
isopentane. I am having a hard time getting the
tissue to cut-I'm getting the hole in the middle of
the OCT block. I have changed the temp in the
cryostat to range from -16 to -35 and inbetween to see
if colder would help. Not much luck. Does anyone know
if I can defrost and fix the tissue and will it
improve the cutting or will that cause it to loose any
FITC. Thanks for any suggestions. Pam
