Re: [Histonet] LCA antibody for B5 tissue
Amanda,
Iım almost positive Iıve had this antibody work on B5 fixed tissues,
mainly bone marrows. What type of antigen retrieval are you using? This
could make a difference. Are you doing any type of treatment to remove the
precipitated mercuric chloride? This can lead to false negatives with some
antibodies.
Iıve routinely used a citrate based heat pretreatment. This recovers the
antigen nicely and removes the mercuric chloride(in most cases).
Hope this helps.
