[Histonet] synaptophysin

[Featherstone, Annette]

We antigen retrieve our synaptophysin in Citrate Buffer  ph6.0 in a steamer.
We set the steamer with the citrate in it for 70 minutes, at 20 minutes left
we add the slides. After it steams for the final 20 minutes we let it cool
for 20 minutes. We add amplifier and blocker too. Is your primary dilution
correct?

Annette,
did you try increasing the time in cell conditioner? Have you tried to
amplify it?
