Hi Fabrice, If you are looking for NFkB activation I suggest to use antibody against non-phosphorylated p65 (rabbit from Abcam, CHIP grade) and watch nuclear translocation of p65. Different anti-phospho-p65 did not give me anything, while anti-p65 clearly shows NFkB activation every time (and it correlates very well with biochemical data). The best results I got was with fresh-frozen sections (with subsequent formaldehyde fixation), next - cryo sections from formaldehyde perfused mice or rats, next - cryo from formaldehyde fixed tissues, and finally - sometimes got some positive results from FFPE after retrieval by citrate boiling.

I'm working on FFPE rat tissue Thanks.
