[Histonet] CD3 antibody for FFPE rabbit tissue
Dear Narinder,
It's a wild guess and haven't tried it, but perhaps worthwhile to test
(....and better than nothing):
The LabVision CD3 rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone SP7) reacts very
well with a lot of different species (human, rat, mouse), so to my
opinion there is a good chance it reacts with rabbit CD3 as well.
Just test it on some lymphoid rabbit tissue and look through heavy
background staining (we have a rabbit-on-rabbit situation here and you
will observe a lot of plasmacells and staining near vessels!) whether
or not T-cells are positive. If this is the case you need the Zenon
(Molecular Probes/Invitrogen) rabbit-on-rabbit kit for proper
visualization. Please let us know if this approach works for you.
Good luck!

Hi All,
I am looking for a CD3 antibody to use on FFPE rabbit tissue. Most
antibodies I have looked into are tested in human.
Thanks
