[Histonet] Influenza A IHC

2019-08-05 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
If anyone is still doing Influenza A IHC testing, could you share your
vendor source and catalog number with me?  I'm looking to find a better
source than what I'm using right now.  I don't do it very often (since we
have a PCR test) but once in awhile it's requested, and my old antibody
just doesn't seem to detect all that it should.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Histonet] Thyroglobulin TGB04+TGB05 Not Working in Canine and Feline

2019-05-15 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
Hi Sandra,

Being a mouse monoclonal, it may not cross-react with canines/felines; the
epitope may be specific to human follicular cells only.

The polyclonal Thyroglobulin from Dako/Agilent works fine on all the
mammals I've tried it on so far (and a frog as well).

Regards,
Jan

Re: [Histonet] IHC Control Slide Longevity

2019-02-28 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
Hi Sandy,

We cut CD31, CD45, CD45RA, CD117, CD204, and MUM1 controls fresh (same
morning as staining; case material as well).

We've never had any problems with Synaptophysin; it's always worked very
well on unstained controls that are up to a year old (stored in the fridge).

Best regards,
Jan

Re: [Histonet] Not DAB IHC waste

2019-02-22 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
Hello,
It depends upon which 'red' chromogen you are using.  There are several
with different chemical compositions, so you will need to look at the
Safety Data Sheets which pertain to the chemical you are using.

In my lab we use 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) which is considered
hazardous.  It causes eye and skin irritation, may cause serious eye
damage, and may cause cancer.  We ship our waste off for proper disposal;
it does not go down the water drain.

[Histonet] guinea pig IHC

2019-01-29 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
Has anyone ever performed IHC on frozen sections of guinea pig tissue?  I
am experiencing an enormous amount of bubbling when doing the peroxidase
blocking step, even though I'm only using a 0.3% concentration of H2O2.
And when I say 'enormous', I mean it's like continuous champagne bubbles
rising out of the tissue, even after 20 minutes in the H2O2 solution.

I can't find anything in the literature that mentions guinea pigs having a
higher peroxidase content in their tissues.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Re: [Histonet] Adenovirus antibody?

2017-08-04 Thread Jan Shivers via Histonet
Hello Paula,

This isn't an answer to your question, because I do use the Millipore
antibody (MAB805) and it works quite well on a Dako platform or done
manually.  It requires enzyme digestion antigen retrieval.  I use it at a
1:400 dilution (45 min) with a polymer detection system (45 min).

I'm not sure why it works on one platform but not another.

Best of luck,
