[Histonet] bone marrow IHC
Hi, thanks to all the people who helped me with perfusions. I have
another question related to a technique I haven't done before:
immunofluorescence on bone marrow. I'm trying to use F4/80 to stain
for macrophages and ter-119 to stain for erythroid lineage cells as
well as various other antibodies. Do people have an opinion on what
is the best way to fix the tissue, and does anyone have suggestions
on the F4/80 and ter-119 (including suggestions of other antibodies
to try)? I get a lot of background with these markers (although
maybe it's real and not background). Is immunofluorescence the way
to go for bone marrow or is immunohistochemistry better? Are smears
better or should I be doing paraffin embedded sections? Thanks, I
appreciate any and all suggestions!
Sharon
