Re: WHALE/PCNA

From:Jan Shivers <shive003@maroon.tc.umn.edu>

I don't know how whale tissue will respond, but I know that PCNA works on
other non-primate mammalian species.  I antigen-retrieve my tissues by
microwaving in citrate buffer, 2 x 5 minutes, with a 20 minute cool down.  I
use xPCNA (DAKO) at 1:50 for 30 minutes, room temp; LSAB2 (DAKO) link and
label for 15 minutes each, and AEC for 10 minutes.  The staining is done on
an autostainer.
