Re: [Histonet] Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin -IHC
Use DAKO's EPOS version. It's pricey but works incredibly well with
ZERO background on mouse tissue. Although I am not familiar with the
secondary reagents you used it is likely that the background is from
the anti-mouse secondary reacting with endogenous IgG in the tissue.
If you cannot get access to EPOS you must use a mouse-on-mouse
detection system. Contact me privately if you need more information.
Hope this helps!
