We use BioCare's polyclonal with excellent results.  Keep in mind that it will cross-react with Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease), although I don't think this is a problem.  Keep in mind that you will need several cases for validation and control purposes to run this antibody routinely?

Hi Fellow Histonetters,
Our pathologists would like to add a syphilis antibody to our list of  
available antibodies. Do any of you have a suggestion as to which one 
(s) we should consider?
Thanks,
