[Histonet] RE: Antigen retrieval

Mike

Retrieval methods are also based upon the antibody.  During protocol development we try several different retrieval methods - no retrieval, enzymatic (proteinase K), pH6 and pH9, we then determine the best method and go from there.  One retrieval method may not work for all antibodies.

Does anyone have a favorite antigen retrieval method for FFPE mouse tissues that they would be willing to share? I have been using citrate buffer Ph6.0 with poor to moderate results. Thanks for any help!
