Could I ask exactly what you are looking for in mouse femur and human tonsil the tonsil I assume is a control? For what? Whatever you are looking for is obviously in human tonsil. Are you positive it is in murine femur. I used to stain for 15-20 targets in EDTA decaled mouse femurs but my control was also a mouse.

I was under the impression it did not but cannot get staining in mouse femurs that I have decaled in EDTA. I have used both the steamer and the decloaker for retrieval and in the human tonsil the stain is great. Any suggestions...... Thanks in advance!
