Patsy,
Just consider anti-tryptase antibody that is directly labeled with Alk. phos. (Millipore MAB1222A). Tris-EDTA pH9.0 pretreatment / 1:5000 overnight 4C / Vector Red. A tonsil will do as positive control.
Good luck!
Cheers, Chris

Does anyone have a go to stain for Mast Cells besides Tol Blue?  We are trying to demonstrate the presence of mast cells in human arteries ffpe.
Also, what would be a good positive control to use for mast cell staining, we used NH Skin and got maybe a few mast cells but I would like to use something more abundant with mast cells.

 

Best regards,

Patsy
