AW: [Histonet] borrelia burgdorferi protocol

[Gudrun Lang]

In spite of your "negative experiences" would you please share your protocol
with me?
And what do you think is the cause, why it doesn't work on human tissue?

I have been doing IHC for Borrelia burgdorferi for years and have never seen
a positive human case; only in animal tissue.

Hi all!

Can anyone provide me a borrelia burgdorferi protocol for ihc, preferable on
the Benchmark XT? We will purchase a polyclonal antibody from Acris. In the
datasheet is no hint about pretreatment or titer. So some information would
be helpful to start with.

 

Thanks in advance
