[Histonet] immunofluorescence staining in frozen tissue

I used Ki67 antibody (ab833 at 1:50) from Abcam or H-300 antibosy at 
1:200 from Santa Cruz. I fix the tissue in ice-cold acetone for 5 
minutes. I found it was very important to permeabilize the tissue with 
TBS + 0.025% TritonX-100 (follow Abcam protocol) for 5 minutes before 
blocking. If I deleted this step, the nuclear staining was very weak for 
either antibody..

Best of luck,
Kelly
