 Kodecytes can be studied using standard histological techniques.Kodecytes can be fixed after "koding" subject to the functional moiety (F) of the FSL construct being compatible with the fixative.However, freeze cut or formalin-fixed freeze cut tissues are required because the lipid based FSL constructs (and other glycolipids) will be leached from the "kodecytes" in paraffin imbedded samples during the deparaffination steps.
