Hi Everyone,

First of all, let me thank you all for responding!  The antibody which I
have been given is from BD Biosciences (Becton Dickinson).

It is Anti-Cytokeratin (Clone:CAM 5.2) directed against Cytokeratin 7
and 8.

I will be running on the Ventana Automated IHC Stainer using the Basic
DAB detection kit.

The cells have not yet been fixed and will be stored in -20 until use.

The antibody is supplied as 25 ug/ml and is monoclonal.

Any help that you can give me as far as fixation, blocking, dilutions,
etc.  would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!!
