[Histonet] Re: marker for mouse vs. human

From:MVaughan4@ucok.edu

James,
If you were using immunofluorescence I could tell you that Hoescht 
staining will demostrate punctate staining in AT-rich regions of the mouse 
nucleus, whereas human nuclei stain with a smoky appearance. Whether you 
could use this same distinction using paraffin sections I don't know. Also 
there are human-specific vimentin (DAKO) and Involucrin (BTI) antibodies 
available that supposedly will not stain mouse.
