Re: [Histonet] alcian blue/pas
Dear Patsy,
The best control for BGal staining is the same tissue type from a
wild-type mouse littermate (same strain) that does not contain the
gene for LacZ. I assume you are working with transgenic mice here? If
not, ignore this comment.
Incidentally, what tissue are you staining?
Good luck,
Andrea
