[Histonet] Antibodies for frozen mouse sections

[Gayle Callis]

Once again, you can buy these antibodies from BD Pharmingen or SEROTEC - 
however you need to determine the working concentration of your primaries 
using a dilution panel starting at 10 ug/ml - no different than for CD4, 
CD8, etc.  and do this in your own laboratory working conditions/buffers, 
etc.

We double immunofluorescence with MadCAM and PNAd so we can see 
colocalization of these markers in NALT, and lymph nodes located in 
neck/head region.  Mesenteric lymph nodes is the positive control for these 
two antibodies.

We do NOT use FFPE for any of these antibodies - frozen sections fixed with 
an acetone/alcohol fixation is wonderful for MadCAM, PNAd and probably the 
other markers as well.
