Image: Immunostaining of human lung tissue, fixed with HOPE, from a patients suffering from legionnaire\'s disease. One legionella protein (red-brown), the bacteria-containing vacuoles and individual legionella inside the scavenger cells can be detected. The infection process can be observed immediately using proteomics (Photo courtesy of Braunschweig University of Technology).

Novel Method Prepares Tissue Samples for Analyzing Proteins

A new way of preparing patient tissue for analyses might soon become the new standard, possibly replacing tissues fixed with formalin, before they are embedded in wax-like paraffin and cut into razor-thin slices.  More...
