Re: Her2/nu control slides

From:Amos Brooks <atbrooks@snet.net>

Hi Amy,
    You could use pancreas as a control. The islet cells stain
beautifully in
normal pancreas. I found this out while trying to use it as a negative
control. Dako has controls as part of their Herceptest Kit. They
actually put
more slides in the kit than is necessary. If you know someone who does
this
test. More likely than not they end up throwing away 1/2 the slides they
get.
