[Histonet] A suitable negative control for BAP1

[Hugh Luk]

Patrick,

We've been studying BAP-1 too and do not have a good answer for a truly negative tissue, except for skeletal muscle, but decided against it.  Our current multi control block contains:  1) lung ca, 2) tonsil, 3) colon ca, 4) LN, 5) ovary ca, 6) lung.  Our clone specifically stains each tissue, either nuclear or cytoplasmic.  My pathologists agonized over this for awhile, before they were happy with this mix.

Hello everyone,

We recently brought BAP1 into our IHC menu, and we were eventually able to
get a good stain that our pathologist was happy with.  We are, however,
looking for a good suitable negative control.  Our pathologist is not
certain and wanted me to ask the local community.

Thanks,
