SPAM-LOW: Re: [Histonet] COX-2

[Patsy Ruegg]

Richard,

I did a lot of work on cox2 a while ago on ffpe tissue and I was not ever
able to get results I was satisfied with.  I would be really interested in
this as well, sometimes it just takes finding the right clone and the right
pretreatment, I am not there yet with cox2 even though several people gave
me their protocols I could not get them to work well.

Best regards,
Patsy

There was a recent study that showed "aspirin" affected the growth of
one type of colorectal cancer; that which overexpresses COX-2.  If this
holds up, get ready to start doing a lot of COX-2 IHC.

Does anyone have a good mAb to COX-2 that works on formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded tissue that they would recommend?  Thank you.
