[Histonet] Post immunofluorescence immunostaining

[Gayle Callis]

I suppose one could pull the coverslip at risk of damaging section and then
come back with antiPE, antiFITC, or go to Molecular Probes and see if they
have an antiAlexa 488 antibody. There are some nice antibodies for
detecting fluorophores out there.  

I would suggest coverslipping with PBS for viewing with fluorescent
microscope and do this immediately, without using any coverslip edge
sealant.  Soak off coverslip and try immunostaining.  DAKO has an excellent
Rabbit antiFITC, (do not use the rabbit antiFITC-HRP conjugate, it doesn't
work as well per Chris van der Loos suggestion/experience) then come back
with an antiRabbit secondary (Donkey antirabbit-biotin) etc. Just make sure
you are careful with blocking and secondary hosts to prevent nonspecific
cross reaction detection.
