Hmmmm.....Caspases, I am so glad someone else has a similar problem
regarding this antibody. I have used the one from Dako ( polclonal) on
human lymphoid tissue; it does work, but not perfectly. some cells stain
beautifully and then there are those that are very "muddy", a bit difficult
to interpret. I donot know whether to call them positive or ignore them.
Not a crisp stain. Dako Australia is trying to help optimise it , as I have
tried just about everything possible. I have in the interim , a sample from
Novocastra...which is the new monoclonal. I will inform you of my progress
if you are interested. Hope you get some joy from the Transduction lab
antibody. Please let me know if it is any good!

Thank you
