I wonder that oxidation will do this but that there will be consequences for the antigens that you are working with.  Years ago, I remember using Periodic acid and then Borohydride as a peroxidase block but that PD726 samples from Oxford did not work at all. The LCA is obviously a run of the mill antibody now and carbohydrate moities a significant part thereof.
Any suggestions/

Subject: [Histonet] removal of carbohydrates/glycosylation


Hi,

Does anyone know of a method to remove carbohydrate 
modifications/glycosylation from proteins in tissue sections on 
slides prior to immunohistochemistry?  (I know it's a weird 
question.)  Any suggestions, references, etc. would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sharon
