[Histonet] IHC anti-cleaved caspase 3

[Liz Chlipala]

I like the cell signaling antibody also, I tried biocare's but did not =
have much success with it.  The cell signaling antibody also works with =
pronase digestion, as well as the EDTA pH9 HIER.  We have even used it =
on bone sections with the pronase digestion. Works in multiple species, =
I have used it on human, rat, mouse, guinea pig, porcine and canine.  =
Our protocol is similar to Cheryl's.  It=92s a bit pricy as antibodies =
go, but I feel its worth it.  Good lot to lot consistency.  We have =
probably gone through about 5 different lots, with not changing the =
protocol at all.  I have a written protocol if anyone is interested.

I will second the Cell Signaling antibody - we have tried antibodies =
from Promega (which gave tons of background staining)...then via this =
site i was pointed to Cell Signaling's monoclonal which we tried; the =
polyclonal actually has been working very well with minimal background =
(we were getting lots of respiratory epithelium and endothelium lighting =
up in control animals). I have been using it in mice with this protocol:

EDTA with PASCAL
primary antibody 60 minutes, dilution 1:125 Rabbit envision DAB plus

Hope this helps!
