[Histonet] RE: BK Virus Antibody

[Mauger, Joanne]

Hi Jim,
We use the SV40(large T-antigen) antibody from BDBioscience #554154. Vector has a different antibody for polyomavirusJC/BK viruses, #VP-P973. Both work well for us in FFPE. The problem we always have is no positive control tissue! Good luck.

Subject: [Histonet] BK Virus Antibody

We used to purchase our BK virus antibody from a company called Chemicon.  Apparently they were bought out by Millipore and the antibody is not available from them.   I need to get the antibody from a new source.   Any ideas?
