I am looking for a solid protein-like matrix that can be embedded into
parafin and sectioned.  We've tried different percentages of gelatin
from 2-8% but have had trouble keeping them intact and the processing is
problematic.  Has anyone had any experience with fixing and sectioning
gelatin or know of any other solid protein-like substances that would
work?

If you can use a cross-linking fixative like glutaraldehyde, the problem
will be solved.
