Re: CD31 in FFPE mouse tissues

From:r-meyer2@northwestern.edu


Teri, 

I just completed a project usind CD31 on FFPE mouse tissue with good results.  
The supplier of the antibody is Research Diagnostics (973-584-7093; 
www.researchd.com).  I used rat anti-mouse CD31, monoclonal; Catalog# 
RDI-mCD31abrt.  They also suggested zinc fixation, but it worked on formalin 
fixation.  I used DAKO's Prot K to open up the sights.

mouse tissue.  I understand some companies offer antibodies that don't work 
well in formalin fixed material, but instead suggest using zinc fixed tissue 
(not zinc formalin fixed).  Unfortunately, I don't happen to have any zinc 
fixed tissue at the moment.
