Quantifying Immunofluorescence staining of spinal cord

Mak
Hello,

I am trying to quantify some IF staining in the superficial layers of the spinal cord. I do some some staining and would like compare optical density between two different models.

Am I correct in selecting a region that encompasses the stained layers I-II of the dorsal horn, with the free pen and measuring that, and then dragging that section to an unstained region of the spinal cord and measuring that as the background?

I have used a similar method in the past to quantify molecular weight bands of western blots.

I hope you can help me.

Kind regards,
Mak
