Doug,

I have read that this is possible using the extremely
sensitive tyramide signal amplification (TSA) system.
The idea is that you first stain with one antibody
at such a high dilution that it can only be visualized
by TSA. Then you do a conventional stain with the other.

I haven't done this myself, but it has been described at
http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/lcmr/snge/Protocols/IHH/immuno.html

I think I've seen some publications also, so you could
try a Medline search.

You'll find information on the TSA system itself at

I have protocols for immuno double staining of antibodies raised in
different species, but I can not find a protocol or a kit that would allo=

me to achieve this with two antibodies raised in the same species.  I am
currently using immunofluorescence and would like to remain with this
visualization.  I would be very grateful for any help.
