RE: CD15

Ann,

Before going to another antibody, try adding IgM to your Link step (About a
1:100 ratio of IgM to Link).  This helped my CD15 immensely. Link is a DAKO
detection term so for ventanna it may be called the biotinylated secondary
step?  I add about 100ul to around 10ml of link.

Good Luck,

Hi Histonetters,

Just wondering what other labs are using for a CD15 antibody to detect Reed
Sternberg cells.  Our CD15 has become very inadequate on our NexES - even
with a heat retrieval.  Currently we are using Ventana's product (clone
MMA).

Thanks in advance.
