Histonetters!
anybody out there doing immunohistochemistry on bone marrow sections with
MIB 1? We get no staining so far. However, I have to admit that in
Germany the routine fixation for bone marrow biopsies contains a
combination of glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and other ingredients. So, I
currently assume it is the glutaraldehyde which destroys the MIB1
epitope.
But may be, there are some suggestions aout there? some special
pre-treatment? We use a pressure cooker (5 min) in citrate buffer at the
moment and a straeptavidin-biotin-hrp- detection system.

thanks for your help
