[Histonet] Re: My last hope for FFPE anti rat CD4

Thanks, Amos - I called Biocare and they no longer claim this antibody 
works on rat.    Their current product data sheet reflects only human 
reactivity.  boo.

My last hope for FFPE anti rat CD4






Jackie,
     I just happened to have a Biocare Medical catalog within arms reach 
(scary since I'm home ... I've really gotta get a life!) and looked up 
their CD4 as an off chance and guess what? Under Species Reactivity they 
say Human, Mouse & Rat! I can't avouch for this antibody as I haven't used 
it on rat, but it's in the book. Try their tech support to make sure. It 
is cat# CM153AA clone BC/1F6.

Hope this helps,
Amos

This topic has been beaten to death - but I'll ask again just incase there
has been a miracle breakthrough.

Anyone know of an anti-rat CD4 antibody that will work in FFPE?

Don't yell at me, please.

Thanks,

Jackie O'
