[Histonet] IF staining of mast cells and fibroblasts

[Bryan Hewlett]

Kim,

In which species?
For human mast cells in FPPE sections, we used Mast cell tryptase for IHC.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of specific markers for mast cells and 
fibroblasts.  I need markers for IF and IHC (not special stains) that will 
stain only mast cells and only fibroblasts.  We have a few markers in mind, 
but we are not sure if they are specific only to those types of cells and 
will not cross-react with some other cell type.

Thanks in advance,

Kim
