[Histonet] C3d

Our patholgoists do not feel IHC gives them the discreet staining patterns they see with IF.  They have tried IHC for C4d and did not like it.  The only platform we have here is Ventana and that often slows us down on things as they may not have the antibody ready to use or a protocol for it.

Pam, 
We have been performing C4d by IHC for about 3 years now and C3d for many months on all our transplant biopsies. Obviously, being able to do this on paraffin obviates the need to have additional tissue for frozens (although I do understand the need for additional IF on kidney biopsies - but we're working on that!). 
Currently we get both antibodies from Cell Marque and run them on our Bonds 
Let me know if you need any more info.

Hi Dr Cartun, 



I hope anyone answering this will make it available for all of HistoNet.  I would be very interested in the use of this antibody as we are already using C4d IF for kidney here.

Is anyone using a "Commercially-available" C3d (not CD3) antibody for identifying antibody-mediated rejection in formalin-fixed cardiac transplant tissue?  Thanks.
