factor XIIIa

From:Jeff Silverman

Steve,
I have worked extensively with factor XIIIa and am very interested in it as
a marker for stromal histiocytes in fibrohistiocytic and fibrovascular
tumors. I get the best results with FFPE tissues  with a thirty minute
enzymatic digestion at  37 deg C using the prebuffered trypsin tablets from
Sigma. HIER is way too harsh and way overkill, causing often intense
background staining. I use Calbiochem rabbit anti-human factor XIIIa 1:400
in PBS with 1% bovine serum albumin. If its not getting too personal, I'd be
interested to know what you are using it for. Hope this helps.
