Re: limits of torture (to tissues in IHC)
Hi Sunhil,
No problem to do triple IHC with BrdU as one of the antibodies. I usually
treat with HCL 0.2N, 15', 37deg, then wash 15 min with borate buffer, and
then PBSx3. Most of the antibodies do not mind all this treatment, so I
block/permeabilize and then incubate with a mixture of the BrdU antibody
and the other two antibodies as usuall. Just remember that nuclear proteins
need some extra permeabilization, for example 0.3-0.4% Tx100; BSA 3%, NGS
5%, 30' in 37deg and then 2hrs or ON. Also I found Texas Red (1:800) to
work really well with the anti BrdU antibody from Accurate.
