Hello Dan,
I use Dako's TdT catalog# A3524  at a 1:10 dilution with a thymus as a
control.  I also use their LSAB2 kit as a detection system but I'm sure
other detection systems will work too.  I pretreat with a citra microwave
step for 15 minutes. I'm sure that other pretreatments will work also.
Good Luck.
