[Histonet] Storage of Primary Antibodies!

[Jennifer Hoover]

        Histonet,

                I have a question regarding the storage (short or longer 
term) of primary antibodies. Is it conducive to aliquot and store primary 
antibodies at -80C?? Is there the potential for diminished activity after 
storing the antibody for several weeks to several months? The aliquots 
that were used were thawed and used for one day only. Any volume that was 
not used was disgarded so freeze/thawing is not the problem. I would 
welcome any insight. Thank you very  much!
