[Histonet] GFP and B-Gal positive control slides

[Gayle Callis]

Ray,

A question: How effective is your antibody without having to use TSA 
amplification?

>For the Tie-2/lac Z mice.  Fix in formalin and process to paraffin as usual.
>We use an antibody from Cortex Biochem (San Leandro, CA) that is IgG
>fraction on rabbit polyclonal to beta-galactosidase.  Around 2-3 ug/ml,
>after a 5 min proteinase K digestion.  We use an amplification kit of the
>third step (TSA for 5 minutes).  DAB, etc.  The signal is outstanding.
