[Histonet] Antibodies for frozen mouse sections

[Andrea T. Hooper]

I use the neutrophil marker Gr-1 from BD Pharmingen with fabulous 
success on frozen sections. It is actually a granulocyte marker not 
just neutrophils. Clone RB6-8C5. Use spleen as a positive control. In 
my hands it works great anywhere from 1-10 ug/ml depending on my 
detection system. I have not tried it on paraffin.
