Recommended cell number for making cytoblocks IHC

01 June 2017 0 1K Report

Hi all

I need to perform IHC using adherent cells and suspension cells. I am aware that different cells give different sized pellets even if grown in the same sized flask. Is there is recommended number of cells I should work with for making my blocks?

Regards
