Subject: Re: C4d staining for renal biopsiesHi Martha,I have researched the C4d Ab, and it only comes as a fluorescent Ab. It's an indirect IF procedure, only doing it on fresh, frozen kidney bx's. We have had good luck with the procedure so far, having 1 positive case. You can purchase the Ab with Biogeneis.Good luck!Cynthia Bulmer, HT(ASCP)Methodist Medical CenterIHC LaboratoryDallas, TX----- Original Message -----From: Sebree Linda A.Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 10:18 AMTo: Martha WardCc: HistonetSubject: RE: C4d staining for renal biopsiesMartha,
We only do C4d on frozen renal biopsies mainly because the clinicians want their answer sooner rather than later.

Subject: C4d staining for renal biopsies
Our lab has had inquiries about adding this antibody to our protocol for transplant renal biopsies and I wanted to hear from labs that are currently performing it. All the protocols I have seen reference frozen tissue but we were wondering if there is a way to do it on ffpe tissues. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
