RE: BCL6

From:"Dawson, Glen"

Elaine,

Try: DAKO Bcl-6 @ a 1:40 dilution.  Control: Tonsil & lymphoma.  Retrieve in
DAKO pH 10.0 target retrieval solution @ 100 degrees centigrade for 35
minutes followed by a 20 min. room temp. cool down.  Apply antibody for
45-60 min. and use LSAB+ detection with DAB staining.  Remember to use
silanized slides to avoid floating.  This works very well for me.  If you
want dark staining, go 1:25 on the dilution.

Good Luck,

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
