[Histonet] rhodamine auto-fluor. problem

From:"Bonnie P Whitaker"

Hi All!
 
I trust everyone that went to Louisville had a wonderful time and learned a lot!!
 
I have a question for you guys:  A researcher here in OB/GYN is doing rhodamine-labeled fluorescent work (he didn't say what antibody) on mouse fallopian tube... he thought he was having a staining problem, but has determined that his tissue is auto-fluorescing.  The tissue is frozen in OCT and fixed in acetone/methanol.  What can he do to quench this?
 
Thanks,
