Doing ihc on animal tissue is very tricky, if for no other reason than you are trying to standardize an antibody across multiple species. You will need to use every trick in the book and invent some of your own to get reproducible results. I would steer clear of any platforms that do not let

I work in animal tissue only. I also agree that an open autostainer system works best, since you may have to run multiple dilutions and incubation times for the same antibody because of the different species' reactivities. You may also need multiple types of reagents to cover detection in
