[Histonet] anti human Laminin-5 antibody

[Birthe Schnegelsberg]

Hello.

I am performing a fluorescent staining on cryosections from human skin with
a monoclonal antibody from Chemicon for Laminin-5. I used concentrations
from 1:400- very/too weak staining suggesting to be at expected location- to
up to 1:80 -too high background, specific staining not detectable.

Does anybody have experience with this antibody using cryosections?

I did a 10min RT aceton fixation of the tissue, would anybody suggest a
different fixation to improve the staining?

Thanks, Birthe

Hello, please is anyone out there familiar with the Oil Red O protocol for
adipocytes which requires differentiation in 1% Dextrin? A colleague of
mine needs to know if the Dextrin has to made in H2O or Isopropanol ? The
Oil Red O is made in Isopropanol. Your prompt replies will be much
appreciated. Atoska
