Zymed Laboratories (phone 1-800-874-4494) has polyclonal rabbit
anti-Calretinin, PAD (Polyclonal Antibody Designation):DC8, catalog number
18-0211 (concentrate for cell/tissue staining of formalin fixed, paraffin
embedded tissues).  The manufacture's insert states it is useful for
staining mesothelioma, but a small percentage of adenocarcinomas produced
focal immunoreactivity for calretinin.  Hope this helps!
