[Histonet] Stupid Rabbit primaries!

[Sebree Linda A]

Do you know for sure that its the Ab and not endogenous biotin,
peroxidase or Phosphatase?  You can block for all those.

Otherwise there are a number of commercial blocking agents on the
market...try Biocare for a start (800)799-9499 or better yet, the
company that makes your antibody.

Good luck.

So I haven't had to deal with rabbit polyclonal primaries in a long time
because I remember how much the background sucks with them.
Unfortunately the only available antibody is a rabbit polyclonal.  Does
anyone have any suggestions for how to eliminate the background?  I have
diluted almost to the point of the antigens not showing!  Thanks guys
and gals!!
