[Histonet] Antibody dilutions and temperature

[MVaughan4 <@t> ucok.edu]

Hello all,
I have noticed there are different diluents used for various antibodies; I 
have seen PBS, PBS plus albumin, and PBS/albumin/Tween. 
What is the difference between using one or the other of these? Also, how 
does incubation temperature play a role in the choice? Thanks for your 
answer, Tim :). Actually I would like to hear anyone's opinion since just 
about everyone here is an IHC or IF expert. Enjoy the weekend!
