Is this with an older tissue sample? We don't do antigen retrieval, but we do have a proprietary technique for tissue restoration which can help with problematic IHC studies, especially in older FFPE tissue samples. See here for some examples: http://hematoxylin-eosin-tales.blogspot.com/2013/04

I hate to be pessimistic, but different clones of monoclonal antibodies can have different optimum retrieval requirements, not to mention tissue type, source species, etc. What I do believe however, is that enzymatic retrieval is under-sold - no equipment purchase is necessary so you will not

Consider the following sequence: 1- the NBF corsslinked the antigens making them "more" stable, "insolubable". 2- you did HIER and that crosslinkage disappeared, making the antigen "vulnerable" or able to be dissolved 3- you left them in buffer while "vulnerable". Does not sound to you as if the

Nicole, You might look into using a more gentle heat source, such as a vegetable steamer or water bath. There are also pressure cookers for IHC which may also be easier on your tissue that the autoclave, although I have had problems with them as well and stick to steamer or waterbath myself. Patsy

Do not bother to retrieve. Usually PAP smears are not fixed in formalin but are alcohol fixed. Alcohol is an excellent fixative for intermediate filaments as well as keratins.

Usually PAP smears are NOT fixed with NBF so they should NOT be treated with HIER before doing IHC. If you have some spare smear do IHC directly (after destaining). René J. --- On Sat, 9/13/08, hao zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: hao zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Histonet] antigen
