Hi all, 


I was wondering, speaking of lectins, if anyone has experience using a
biotinylated lectin in FFPE mouse tumor tissue (not following perfusion,
just routine sectioning) to look at angiogenesis within the tumor.  I
understand that there could be some cross-reactivity to the epithelial
cells which for us would be a bit of a problem as our tumors are pretty
solid.  Has anyone seen the problem and how bad is it?  I'm getting
tired of trying to get CD31 and CD34 to behave nicely in our FFPE tumors
but I need to be able to see the tumor vasculature.

 

Thanks,

Katy Milne

HISTOTECHNOLOGIST RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY - HISTOPATHOLOGY ON
FOREIGN ANIMAL DISEASES
 
A unique Histotechnologist research fellowship is currently available
working within the pathology division of the USDA, Animal Research
Service on Plum Island, NY. We have an immediate opening for a 1-2 year
fellow with the possibility of extension beyond the initial fellowship
contract.
 
The primary mission of the research group is investigation of veterinary
diseases of potential threat to US agriculture interests. Currently the
greatest emphasis is directed towards characterizing the pathogenesis of
foot-and-mouth disease (aphthovirus).
 
The Plum Island Animal Disease Center is located off the East end of
Long Island, NY. Transport to and from the island is provided free to
employees aboard government-operated ferries servicing Orient, NY and
Old Saybrook, CT. Rural and suburban communities are abundant near both
the NY and CT sides of the ferries with access to scenic beaches and
vineyards. New York City and Boston are both within 3-4hrs drive. 
 
Activities will be varied but will include conventional histotech work,
cryosectioning, immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, confocal
microscopy, and assistance with animal necropsies and sample collection.
The pathology group currently consists of two veterinary pathologists
and one other histotech; the group works closely with on-site molecular
biologists, immunologists, clinicians, and research fellows. 
 
Stipends (ranging from $35,000 to $45,000 a year) will be determined
according to education and experience in the field. This fellowship is
open to applicants with at least a bachelor's degree and experience in
histotechnology.
 
General aspects of the fellowship are described and application is
available at:
 
www.orau.gov/piadc
 
 
For more information, email to the address below. If applying, please
notify J. Arzt directly in addition to filing the application with
ORISE/ORAU.

Hi there Histonetters!  It's been a while, but I have
a friend who is in the market for a flourescent
microscope; and needs to start pricing them for an
equipment grant.  She's looking for an upright (light

red, and blue filters as well.  Any leads are
appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi Zach.
Perhaps you need to try heat-induced epitope retrieval/unmasking on you pwax

sections?
I have tried an OX-42 Ab reagent on FFPW sections after the above with 
negative results. ( and tried various proteolytic enzmes). The only 
excellent result , for me, was after HIER on pwax rat brain, using an 
anti-phosphotyrosine Ab reagent. See here for your evaluation; 
http://www.immunoportal.com/index.php Go to Image gallery and use search box

"phosphotyrosine". No guarantees for your species, of course.
Good luck.

I agree with Patti.  
I have used Ventana, Biogenex and Dako IHC stainers in research and clinical
settings.  For cost effectiveness, consistent, reliable results I choose the
Dako.  I have had the same Dako rep for over 10 years and she is great
(LuAnne you know who I am talking about).  I did not have to pay for the
shipping of my instrument and use the instrument based on reagent
requisition.  We worked together for weeks validating the antibodies I use
and they even provided the reagents in some cases.  I know Dako has had some
troubles of late, but for my money and satisfaction they have and continue
to serve me well.

I've used the Ventana, Biogenex and Vision Biosytem Bond IHC stainers. The
Vision and Ventana are more user friendly for online dewaxing and antigen
retrieval but I really did like the RTU antibodies from Biogenex.They were
very consistent and clean staining.  Vision Biosytem (Steve Westra in
Florida) did have the best technical support though.
At one place I worked, the Dako rep wanted to charge us $1,700.00 to ship a
demo IHC stainer for us to try. My MD didn't even consider Dako after that.
There is no perfect system. You just need to find the one that will fit your
needs and budget. I would suggest getting a solid price quote on the
equipment, antibodies and other disposable products prior to purchasing.

I second! - even with the problems of late, I have always had good
service from DAKO - all the way back to the early 80s, when I was very
green behind the ears and they walked me through the manual stains
holding my hands. They are a very good company.

	I am asking for a colleague who was doing a Weil's stain for myelin.

	One of the ingredients, 2% alcoholic haematoxylin requires a 
ripening process for at least 6 months.

	As the student cannot wait that long, I was wondering if 
anyone could supply a quicker method, or suggest something to hasten 
the ripening process of the above.

Make up a fresh solution and just dust a little sodium iodate into it, but 
not too much.  Leave half an hour and use.

Alternatively, use a fresh solution and leave it ten minutes after adding 
the mordant.  It will ripen OK.  The method is done by inspection anyway, so

just keep an eye on the staining and adjust the times.

Hi All

Hope that someone out there has this old stain procedure, an Orcein stain to
stain for fat in paraffin sections. We had tissue erronously placed in
formalin and subsequently processed. The pathologist would like to
demonstrate fat using the orcein method.

Thanks

Hi All, 

Does anyone have an experience with anti-GFP antibody of MBL on
cryosections?

Thanks-

We work on undelcalcified bone tissue (human, rabbit) fixed in PFA 4% and
embedded in methylmethacrilate (MMA).
>From our samples we obtain 50 m thick sections which can contain titanium
implants.
We tried to perform Von Kossa stain (see attachment), always on
undeplasticized sections, but we met several problems:

- calcium deposits after silver nitrate+UV light did not appear black but
brown, and, after sodium thiosulphate, brown stain turns more and more
light;

- we could not find a suitable counterstain for osteoid: nuclear fast red
and neutral red do not stain at all, basic or acid fuchsin stain too much
and cover the underlying brown..

Some suggestions? Are there other good histological stainings for
undeplasticized bone sections in your experience?

Thank you!
Brunella

It never ceases to amaze that people still fall for this garbage.  WOW.

I just wish they would come up with something more original like an upcoming
diamond meteor shower or a new laser that turns used kleenex into gold.
