[Histonet] protein block

Dako's protein block is serum free and from what I understand is just
casein, no bsa.  I use serum free protein block from Open Biosystems, I also
use their Stable Dab, Antibody Diluent, hematoxylin CS, etc., they are a lot
cheaper from most and I like their products.

Renee,

I doubt it, sometimes protein blocks are serum-free blocks, and may contain 
BSA and/or casein.  I would assume another company's block should do the 
job as well.  Try Lab Vision, Biocare, etc to see what they have available.
