Abstract excerpt
To facilitate the molecular analysis of tissues in adult zebrafish, we tested eight different fixation and decalcification conditions for the ability to yield DNA suitable for PCR and tissue immunoreactivity, following paraffin embedding and sectioning. Although all conditions resulted in good tissue histology and immunocytochemistry, only two conditions left the DNA intact as seen by PCR. The results indicate...
