Subject: Amyloid stains


Good afternoon,

We are starting up a new project which will require staining of amyloid
deposits in mouse atherosclerotic lesions and pancreatic tissue.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this and/or what staining
technique most would recommend. 

Thanks for any help!
