Hi everyone!
I need your experience as I am totally discovering your world HISTOLOGY.
In immunoassays, I know that the most common substrate for
beta-galactosidase is BCIG (bromochloroindolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside).
However, I recently did a control slide with tissue I knew there was
endogenous beta-gal activity.
Steps were the following:
- No primary antibody
- Biotinylated secondary antibody
- Avidin-HRPO
- DAB
I obtained a brownish color where I know there is beta-gal protein. Is it
normal?
Any comment of advice will be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Anne
