Don't know if anyone else replied to this...but maybe try tinkering with
your angtigen retrieval? Like try altering the temp, duration, or even the
pH? pH can be finicky for some epitopes, I've found...

Dear Histonetters,
Hopefully you are enjoying a great Holidays with your friends and family!
I have been asked to perform . I got positive and negative absolutely
identical with beautiful nuclear DAPI and very red RBC. What to do or
what to change in my protocol to avoid RBC and background? Here is my
protocol: 1.Deparaffinization (xyline- 60min, 100%Eth- 15min, 95%- 5min,
70%- 5min, H2O) 2. Antigen Retrieval ph6 in Citrate buffer (same I use
for IHC)
3. Wash H2O and TBST
4. Protein block- 10min
5. Ab, Rb anti-human - 60-90 min (same I use for IHC)
6. Wash TBST -5-10min
7. secondary Donkey anti-Rb 594 red - 60min
8. Wash TBST -5-10min, H2O -5min
9. DAPI - 10min
10. Wash H2O -5-10min
11. Gelvatol coverslip
Am I using wrong secondary? Is there any specific secondary or protocol
for IF staining for FFPE to avoid background? I just used same AR and
primary Ab's dilution like i use for IHC with nice results.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially in these Holidays days from
working histo- people:)
Thanks and have a warm and nice Holidays,
Naira
