Patrick, or anyone else using the alpco product...can you give some details/feedback on how this anti human C4d (FITC-Conjugated) is working for you, and whether you were able to replace two steps with one for C4d IF staining? I checked that website, and the pdf on this product reads: "The antibody detects human complement split product C4d and has been tested for use on paraffin sections and frozen sections of human Tissue. " We've switched our goat anti-mouse currently used for C4d immunofluorescence, and would prefer to switch to a conjugated product. It sounds like something we'd like to try. Thanks in advance, Eric Gagnon MLT Histology Laboratory Kingston General Hospital Kingston, Ontario, Canada
