Hello Min-Han Tan

you are not writing which primary antibody you use.
And how you dilute the 0.3 % hydrogen peroxide, in a buffer (like TBS or 
PBS)  or methanol ?
Just a thought:  0.3 % perox block in buffer for 30 min could be too 
harsh. The use of methanol, which is no problem in formalin fixed tissue , 
might destroy the epitope in frozens.
