[Histonet] Problems with secondary antibodies

From:Brian Dias

hi everyone,
    i'm trying to get a double label ICC to work using a Rbt polyclonal 
(against Glucocorticoid receptor) and a Ms monoclonal (against Tyrosine 
hydroxylase) primary combination. both of these work in single label runs 
using Biotinylated secondaries. however, when i switch to double 
fluorescent runs i run into the following problems:
1. my anti-Rbt FITC doesn't light up any cells at all (in single as well as 
double studies)(my anti-Ms Tx Red works just fine and i see some nice 
staining in both my single and double studies)
2. i thought this might be secondary problem, but when i use another 
Ployclonal Rbt (towards Tyrosine hydroxylase) and anti-Rbt FITC, i see some 
nice staining comparable to when i use the mouse monoclonal.
   any suggestions would be welcome.
thanks a ton

b
