If we are performing BrdU on mouse tissue we use a primary from Accurate
Chemical and Scientific (800) 645-6264, Clone BUI/75 product number MAS
250. It's a rat anti-BrdU. Then we use a secondary from Dako - rabbit
anti-rat (mouse absorbed) Catalog Number: E 0468. I will only use
mouse on mouse antibodies when absolutely necessary, and if I have to do
that I'll use either the Dako ARK kit or the Vector MOM Kit. Both will
work fine. I can't send attachments to the histonet so I'll e-mail you
separately with our protocol.
Hope this helps

Subject: [Histonet] mouse on mouse immuno help!!!
Hopefully someone out there can give me some assistance. I am trying to
stain mouse tissue with a Monoclonal anti - BRDU. We are using a
biotinylated rabbit anti-mouse F(ab')2 secondary at 1:500 in a
commercial diluent with normal rabbit serum added to it. Our negative
system control (no primary) is coming out almost perfectly clean -
however the slides with primary applied are a whole different story. I
am seeing what i believe to be good positive signal - with lots of
noise. Does anyone have any suggestions that might not be working with
commercial kits that are out there. My lab is research and we don't
usually work with kits. Just questioning things like - should I
avidin/biotin block all mouse tissue?, should i use low or high
percentages of normal serum in my primary and secondary?..... I am so
close to having this thing worked out any help would be appreciated.
