Along those same lines I have conjugated primaries to biotin and it works beautifully for human on human IHC. Another alternative if extra amplification is needed is to conjugating to FITC and then using a rabbit-anti-FITC followed by an anti-rabbit polymer.
Just be aware with human on human controls are imperative as you may get binding to human Fc receptors.

The best thing I havefound to do is to conjugate your primary antibody with HRP, then just use the direct method (no secondary), and it turns out beautifully!! You can buy thekit to do this from Fisher. I can get the exact order number if you need it. Good Luck!!
