Dr. Cartun,
we are using a mouse monoclonal from Nova Castra.  We steam the slides with
Dako's Target Retrieval solution for 20 minutes, with a 20 minute cool down.
Our titer is 1:200.  We incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes each in
the primary, link and label with a 5 minute incubation in DAB.  Hope this
helps.
