Jeannette Mitchell at FAHC in Burlington, Vermont asks:
>>I have been asked to do an Alcian Blue with and without Sialidase
Digestion.<<
To remove sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid, NANA) from sections:
1. Deparaffinize sections and bring to water.
2. Sing NA NA Hey Hey Good-bye as loudly as you can for five minutes.
3. Proceed with Alcian blue stain.
