Hi,

I appreciate if someone can answer my question. I am going to stain rats' brain 
microvessels with ER(estrogen receptor) antibody. We know how we can isolate 
the vessels but this is the first time to stain them.
I have the microvessels in PBS 1X and do you know how I can fix them with 
paraformaldehyde and mount them on the gel-subbed slides? I did 2 ways: 1- 
mount the fresh microvessels on the slide and wait overnight to get dried and 
then fix them in 2% PFA for 30 min and after that washing steps and the rest of 
IHC protocol or 2- fix the vessels with 2% PFA in the tube for 30 min and then 
mount them on the slides and wait overnight to get dried.
Please advise me with any idea,
thanks so much,

I am having a problem with my tape coverslipper.  The coverslipper is not 
positioning the tape properly; when the slides are coverslipped, they have a 
1mm overhang on the right side of the slide, would anyone know how to adjust 
this?
Thanks,
