A powerful and versatile new fixation protocol for immunostaining and in situ hybridization that preserves delicate tissues
Thus, the NAFA protocol robustly preserves the delicate wounded tissues while also facilitating probe and antibody penetration into internal tissues. Furthermore, the fixation protocol is compatible for WISH on regenerating teleost fins suggesting that it will be a valuable technique for studying the processes of wounding response and regeneration in multiple species.
