[Histonet] IHC Slides

Having problems with IHC slides not looking the same between runs. Does it have to do with how long and at what temp they are in the oven for? Courtney Pierce IHC Specialist Quintiles Translational RD - Oncology Innovation Navigating the new health 610 Oakmont Lane Westmont, IL 60559 Office: +

Not really. Time in the oven and temp is usually not an issue as long as the tissue is well fixed/processed/infiltrated. René J. --- On Mon, 3/12/12, Courtney Pierce courtney.pie...@quintiles.com wrote: From: Courtney Pierce courtney.pie...@quintiles.com Subject: [Histonet] IHC Slides

So...I have run down slides and done antigen retrieval on my FFPE slides. They are currently in antigen retrieval that has come to room temperature. I am not going to be able to finish the IHC stains until tomorrow. Will it be better to keep the slides in the antigen retrieval solution at 4

You can put them %3 H2O2 for 10 minutes. and then drop primary antibody and incubate at 4 degrees overnight. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

Cynthia, Hematoxylin will inactivate the peroxidase (link) in the tissues. You must go back and re-do the link step and hopefully the antigenic sites will still accept more streptavidin (or similar) conjugated antibody. Cheer. Greg Greg Dobbin, R.T. Chief Technologist, Anatomic Pathology Dept.

I should add that the DAB step may also have quenched all of the linked peroxidases even before the hematoxilin was added (which would finish off any that remained). Greg Greg Dobbin, R.T. Chief Technologist, Anatomic Pathology Dept. of Laboratory Medicine, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, P.O. Box

Hi Cynthia, I agree with Greg, you have to re-do your staining from beginning (from AR step) after removing the hematoxilin. Naira ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] IHC Slides, Hotplate vs Oven

2010-04-21 Thread Gagnon, Eric
Tony's answer (62 degrees C for 25 mins) is the minimum to ensure section adheres to slide. We all have to stain slides that have been baked longer than 30 mins. However, especially for Her2, longer baking times can result in false negatives or at least diminished staining. The justification

I'm curious as to whether or not others put their IHC slides on a hotplate after cutting? If so, at what temperature and for how long? Who only uses an oven - and what temp and for how long? Does anyone use both the hotplate and the oven? Laurie Colbert
