[Histonet] RE: NK cell on mouse tissue

[Gayle Callis]

This NK1.1 (P136) mouse on mouse is not recommended for use with 
immunohistochemistry according to BD Bioscience technical data sheet.   I 
am curious who has published success though, same as you and mentioned by 
Sonya)?  Maybe she can provide the references on this.

PLP stands for periodate lysine paraformaldehyde (McKean et al).
