[Histonet] mitochondrial antibody enquiry and DAB waste disposal

[Andi Kappeler]

Hi Megan

mo-a-Mitochondrial Antigen, clone 113-1, BioGenex CatNo MU213-UC, works 
reasonably well on FFPE tissue. We had best results after HIER (citrate) in 
a pressure cooker and with the mAb diluted at 1:50 (which is a relatively 
useless information, however BioGenex is also one of those companies that do 
not specify Ig content in ug/ml for their antibodies, therefore I have to 
give you the information '1:50' rather than x ug Ig/ml). Hope this helps
