Jo,
I tried several cd11b's on ffpe tissue to no avail, I switched to F4/80
clone for macs and it does work on ffpe.  The one I have is rat anti ms I
believe, what species are you trying to label?

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a CD11b antibody that works on FFPE?

Thanks,
Jo

Maria, 
We are using a different clone - clone G3 from Chemicon. In our
validation
we did see some cross reactivity with basophils. It was positive on
all
cases of mast cell disease we tested & negative on other neoplasms &
hematopoietic cell types.
