Dear Histonetters,

Has anyone had success staining formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections for BCL6.  I have tried heat induced epitope retrieval with Trilogy (Cell Marque)and high ph target retrieval  from DAKO on tonsil sections.  I have tried both companies antibodies.  The best staining I had was with high ph target retrieval and the antibody at 1:10.  But I need to get stronger staining.  I have tried amplification on a Ventana immunostainer and also tried staining by a manual method and it is just not dark enough.

Would appreciate any suggestions
