[Histonet] Choosing an antibody

F4/80 does not work on rat, it's a marker for activated macrophages in
mouse tisse.  For rat you want the clone ED-1.

Subject: [Histonet] Choosing an antibody

I am searching for an F4/80 antibody to used on FFPE rat livers. I have
found two possibilities (though if anyone happens to have an antibody
suggestion please let me know) and I am wondering which would be better,
or if it makes much difference. They are both from the same company but
the sources differ.
One is a rabbit polyclonal raised against amino acids w/in and
extracellular domain, and the other is raised against a peptide mapping
at the C-terminus.
I have encountered this before and always wondered what is the
difference and if one is better. Thanks.
