Kappa/Lambda IHC

From:Rena Fail

 

 

Cheryl,

    We use Kappa and Lambda from DAKO on the Dako autostainer with Envision +.

Kappa with proteinase K,

Lambda 1:1500 with no antigen retrieval

I am at home and do not recall the dilution for Kappa. The real key to getting consistent staining with no background for these abs particularly Kappa was the use of a protein block.

Hi, Botsford recently started up an immuno program and we're constantly adding antibodies.  Kappa/Lamda has been a real pain.  We've tried several companies and so many varations it makes my head spin- but nothing is consistant.  What companies, dilutions, and antigen retrievals are any of you using?  Do you have alot of background or nonspecific staining?
