I'm trying to stain blood vessels in murine periosteum (whole mount), tried antibodies against CD31, SMA and lectin and in different bones (scal, iliac crest femur). The protocol works well but staining is not deep enough - about 15 um with formaldehyde fixation for 30 min incubation and ~35 um with a mixture of formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. My goal is to image as deep as ~100 um (periosteum) with confocal microscope.
