Actually no,
The study we were doing was using blocks that we had cut freshly.
The blocks were old (mostly) but they were generally cut and stained within
a week. I have seen degradation of epitopes in old slides but not in old
blocks recently cut. Truly the culprit was a very poor primary antibody.
I'll certainly be looking into the monoclonal Tomorrow morning though.
Hoping for the best,
Amos
