[Histonet] BrdU and EM?
Hello All,
I'm trying to do BrdU staining (in paraformaldehyde fixed, free-
floating sections) and preserve the ultrastructure of the tissue for
EM at the same time. HCl works fine for denaturing DNA for BrdU-
ICC but doesn't leave much of the tissue for EM. DNase would be
more EM-friendly but doesn't penetrate the tissue enough.
Does anybody know a method that could provide a fair enough
compromise between BrdU and EM? Maybe by increasing the
penetration of DNase?
Best regards to you all,
Szilvi
