Dear Ian,

Please see DAKO and Serotec for anti-fibroblast antibodies. Both antibodies
will work on cryostat tisue sections. At least from the DAKO antibody I
know it also works moderately well on formalin-fixed tissue (not too long)
after heat-induced antigen retrieval (citrate pH 6.0). Furthermore, both
antibodies also do stain plasma cells. I guess this should be regarded as
non-specific staining.

Good luck, Chris
