Andy,
We too have experience with Novacastra reagents that doesn't do what
was promised in the data sheet (CD69 on FFPE). Our problem was finally
solved when we turned to tyramide amplification (TSA or CSA II).
Perhaps you can boost your faint CD13 staining in this way.

Hi all
Has anybody experience with CD13 antibodies on FFPE tissues? We have
tried
Novocastra's clone 38C12 after different pretreatments (5 variants of
'hot',
2 enzyme) and are not really enthusiastic about it (faint staining,
very few
positive cells in tonsils and bone marrow). Suggestions for other
clones
that work on FFPE welcome! Thanks
