Hi All, I know there was some buzz a while back about this antibody. I have tested it on mouse FFPE xenografts, and I must say, it looks very promising. I compared 2 pieces of the same mouse xenograft; one half of the tumor was fixed in IHC-Zinc (ZInc-Tris) and stained with the BD rat anti-mouse CD31 and the other half of the tumor was fixed in NBF. The NBF-fixed tumor actually looks better!
A couple of other folks that are working at the west coast sites of my company have had similar results. We are all very encouraged. I still need to do a bit more testing with some other tissues (and perhaps some additional titrations), but I thought I would pass this along to everyone.
