Re: CD1a ('Daily digest' is NOT a good subject heading for a question!)

From:Kappeler Andreas

CD1a, clone O10, works on paraffin embedded tissue after HIER. Unfortunately
the antibody is only available as one of these ready-to-use products. It was
distributed by Immunotech, who used to be a French company before it was
'Coulter-ized'. Coulter in turn has been 'Beckman-ized' about 3 or 4 years
ago. It's so easy to loose track of reagents these days (Beckman is owned by
GM, which in turn belonged to Warner Bros until yesterday - didn't
MacDonalds just buy WB this morning? And this all in the name of customer
satisfaction). Clone O10 has the product code IM1590 and should be available
from your Beckman Coulter distributor, although Beckman Coulter doesn't seem
to put a lot of emphasis on the product. You won't find it easily on
www.coulter.com, but try their CD chart at
http://www.coulter.com/immunotech/01-a.asp. At least it's listed there. Good
luck!
