I use Dako's PCNA (cat. # M0789), mouse monoclonal, clone PC10, HIER with pressure cooker (Decloaker, 30" at 121C, 21psi) in Target Retrieval buffer, 45 min in primary antibody (current dilution is 1:200, but that varies with each new lot), 30 min in goat anti-Ms EnVision+/HRP, 15 min in AEC. I use an autostainer, but it can be done manually with the same incubation times at RT.

This works for me on many mammalian species.

Subject: [Histonet] PCNA staining on paraffin


Does anyone have any suggestions for staining PCNA on paraffin? We are using Santa Cruz's PCNA (FL261) SC-7907.

We have already stained with it successfully on frozen sections, but it does not appear to be working on paraffin. Thank you.
