Dear All,

I am forwarding a question on behalf of a colleague who asks "what is
the best way of preserving tissue should I be wanting to save it for
confocal microscopy at a later stage.  Freeze? Formalin?
Glutaraldehyde?"

The tissue in question is airway biopsy from lungs of transplant patients
and the particular issue is nerve innervation and reinnervation ie sensory
v parasympathetic v adrenergic to see if innervation is related to
changes in structure and hence rejection.
