		Good morning Histonetters,

		I am trying to find an antibody for TGF-beta that can be
used on
		demineralized and paraffin embedded rat tibias.  I have
called several
		companies that have TGF-beta antibodies available, but none
of them can
		be used on paraffin embedded tissue, with the exception of
one, but it
		cross-reacts with human only.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
