[Histonet] RE:CD4 on Ventana

[Isaac Milos]

Piero,

Sorry for the delay on the response here.  ;-)

We actually now have an IVD rabbit monoclonal CD4 that performs
exceptionally well on the Ventana platform (as well as every other
platform that it has been tried on).

In the past, we tried to develop the other mouse monoclonals (such as
the 1F6) ourselves but they did not perform to our expectations.  The
sensitivity was far too low.  These issues were remedied when we
developed the rabbit monoclonal version.

Dear Histonetters

I'm having a lot of trouble getting CD4 to stain FFPE tissue using the 
Ventana Benchmark XT.  Any advice about which antibody and protocol 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
