Hi All,
Has anyone had experience doing IHC on FFPE tissues with Collagen Type IV subunit antibodies? These are Collagen Type IV alpha 1, alpha 3 and alpha 5 chains. They are used for the diagnosis of Alport syndrome and all antibodies are from KAMIYA BIOMEDICAL COMPANY, Seatle. At present, it seems that only COL4A5 is working on FFPE tissues. I tried with (or without) various pre-treatment before the primary incubation with the dilution of 1:50 to 1:500. I am using BondMax autostainer and I also tried Decloaking chamber HIER with manual staining. I was wondering whether there would be other source for these antibodies. Thank you.
