and DAB

Hi,I'm working as a lab technician at UF making using
immunohistochemistry (ABC method and then DAB, specifically) to
find out where eNOS is located in sheep placenta tissue. However,
I seem to be both not getting staining on the endothelial cells
(which is weird since I'm using eNOS antibody) and getting a lot
of staining due to endogenous peroxidase activity. I've already
tried putting the slides in a solution of 1:10 30%hydrogen
peroxide to methanol for as long 40 min, and it still doesn't seem
to quench the endogenous peroxidase. Anyone have any suggestions
as to other methods of quenching it?
