Try Lab Vision.  They have a rabitt anti-human desmin, polyclonal Ab.  The cat# is RB-9014.  It comes in purified or ready-to-use forms.  
I have not used it, but they claim it works on FFPE tissues.
Their web address is www.labvision.com and the toll free # is 1-800-828-1628.
 
Good luck.

	Hello,
	
	One of my pathologists is asking for a polyclonal Desmin antibody.  I have
	found one but it is Rabbit Anti-Chicken is only applicable on frozen
	sections.  I'm looking for a Rabbit Anti-human antibody that will work on
	FFPE tissues.  Thanks
