Do you know if people inflate with OCT and then successfully get protein out of the tissue or look at collagen via hydroxyproline assay? I know we have been able to extract mRNA but not sure if the gycols in oct would have any effect on getting protein out to look at collagen via the assay mentioned. Many thanks to the histo geniusi out there.
