Hello all, Has anyone ever tried using a Tris buffer solution at very low pH (pH 1 or 2) to retrieve epitopes whether through a microwave, steamer or pressure cooker? I am trying to retrieve 10%NBF, 24-48 hr fixed mouse and rat tissue for an antigen that papers and books suggest should be retrieved using low pH Tris buffer. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience(s) to share ... buffer solution recipes and subsequent positive or negative (e.g. poor) results. Thank you. Gustave Gustave T.
