Since I'm always looking to increase my IHC antibody repertoire, while
incurring the least amount of expense when trying out human antibodies on
non-primate mammalian species.... I'll turn to you folks....

Does anyone have (positive staining) experience with any of the human CD
markers on dog, cat, horse, pig, and cow tissue (formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded only)?  In the past, I haven't had much success in getting
many of the CD markers to cross-react with non-human tissue (obviously, the
problem is one of epitope recognition).

I already use polyclonal CD3 and CD117 (c-kit), and monoclonal CD20 (BLA.36)
and CD79a (JCB117).  I'd really love to find an LCA that works, as well as
other more specific lymphoid markers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
