Hi TF,
we do IF with two 1.ABs out of mice using a sequential protocol from abcam: www.abcam.com/technical We perform a second blocking step with serum (higher conc. than the first one) after the first Fluorescence was added, do not perform another retrieval procedure (my ABs need the same) and perform the following incubation steps in the "dark" (we switch the light off and cover the slides after adding the ABs) to prevent fading.

Until now, I was sure, this procedure works but maybe the two antigens don't colocalize but it is just a staining artifact ;-)

Hope this helps,

Frauke


Zitat von TF <ti...@foxmail.com>:

Thanks all, Merced M Leiker is right: the double IHC procedure using two primary antibodies from same species.

Some expert just sent me their procedure of Heat-interval based inactivation of the primary antibody for first antigen.
I am just seeking for a chemical way at room temperature.

I am completely confused.
IF you have an epitope in the tissue and you react with it an specific antibody "that is it". The epitope will have reacted and I do not see any way in which you can add another antibody to that initial epitope. From the reactive point of view, the epitope is "blocked" to react with another, unless the reaction is not totally specific and "there is room for another".
I just cannot imagine a way of doing this.

Hi TF and all interested,

I think I know what you want, but unfortunately I don't know how to answer
your question (it is something I'd like answered myself!!)  To re-word for
the sake of all interested:

You want to perform double-immunofluorescent staining using 2 primaries
that were raised in the same species.

An additional question for clarification is: Do you want to do this on
paraffin or frozen sections?

Maybe someone can help figure it out...

Merced

u need specific amplication kit anyway.

For doublestaining the primary undergoes denaturation through a second
HIER-step. The second secondary ab doesn't bind to the first primary.
Therefore the binding sites must have been destroyed by heat in
retrieval-buffer.

Betreff: [Histonet] Chemicals that inactivate the primary antibody
Hi all, just wonder what kind of treatments/chemicals can complete block
the binding of 2nd antibody to binded primary antibody on antigen?
I tried HCl , but does not damage all the primaryantibody binding sites -
i can still see staining pattern finally.
