Hi Cheryl

Yes the Kappa and Lambda stains are a big pain but they do work. Have a look at our recent publication :

Applied Immunohistochemistry and Molecular Morphology 10 (2): 110-114, 2002. Patterns of Immunoglobulin Staining in Paraffin-Embedded Malignant Lymphomas. Leong A S-Y. et al.

Good luck.

Subject: Kappa/Lambda IHC

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?
