Hi, Folks,



We are starting to work on a project that requires PR and ER staining in dog
uterus. I'm hoping someone will share some tips such as which antibodies
work well in dog (clone, manufacturer), and any specific special procedures
that might help, such as which antigen retrieval methods work best. I've
tried a couple antibodies already without good results in dog although they
worked very well in a mouse control.

All suggestions and advice is appreciated. Thanks very much.

We have started doing routine immunohistochemistry on our stainer and have a
large waste container that includes diaminobenzidine (DAB).

We would like to inactivate it so we don't have to pay to have the waste
removed.  Can anyone help me?  What do people use to inactivate their DAB?

Thanks!
Peggy

Research Genetics on the Web but last I knew products were still available.
You can call them to get current catalog number and prices.

Hi everyone,

I am unable to find this company anymore. Does anyone know if old research
genetics products are still being sold? I don't want Invitrogen- they did
away with the product I want-MicroHyb.

Thanks,
Jo Mauger

We detoxify our DAB using this method from: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN THE
HISTOPATHOLOGY LABORATORY, by Dapson & Dapson, fourth edition, pg 184.

1. Prepare the following aqeous stock solutions:
   a. 0.2M potassium permanganate (3.16% or 31.6g KMnO4/liter)
   b.  2.0M sulfuric acid (11.2% or 112 mL concentrated acid/liter)
2. Dilute DAB solution of necessary so that its concentration does not
exceed 0.9 mg/ml.
3. For each 10ml of DAB solution, add:
   a. 5ml 0.2 M potassium permanganate (3.16% or 31.6 g/liter)
   b. 5ml 2.0 M sulfuric acid (196 g/liter, 107 ml/liter or 10.7%)
4. Allow mixture to stand for at least 10 hours.  It is now
non-mutagenic.
5. Decolorize the mixture with ascorbic acid (add powder until color
disappears).  This too is an oxidation/reduction reaction.
6. Neutralize the decolorized mixture with sodium bicarbonate (test with
pH meter, pH paper or dipsticks).  Note:  we recommend using magnesium
hydroxide/oxide instead of sodium bicarbonate.
7. Discard the solution down the drain provided that local wastewater
authorities have given their approval.

Hope this helps,
Lynette

May I suggest that you access the histonet archives where you will be able
to see all the previous discussions on this topic.



The responses were many and varied depending on different lab types and
locations. Good luck with your search.
