Re: endogenous peroxidase
From: | Phil Bergin <philip.bergin@microbio.gu.se> |
We use glucose oxidase blocking. Works nicely and the sections keep
good morphology.
Our protocol is below if you are interested.
Use 1 unit per ml glucose oxidase in your final buffer, we make up
stock buffer:
1 litre PBS
1.8 g glucose
64 mg Na-Azide.
We just heat the buffer to 37 C in a water bath, add the glucose oxidase
for 15 min, remove from the water bath and incubate the slides for 15
min. Simple.
