CD CLUSTERED ANTIBODIES  

(anti-Human and others as indicated)

NOTE: 10% Discount on purchases of  3 or more any combination of CD antibodies. Please inquire for bulk or custom formulations (without preservative or carrier).

RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl  offers a wide line of  antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (flow cytometry, neutralization, blotting, histochemistry, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below. All products are for in vitro research use only-not for use in or on humans or animals-not for use in diagnostics. Price/availability/specifications subject to change without notice.

Sample High Temperature Unmasking Technqiue for Paraffin Sections:

     Buffer=1mM EDTA (ph 8.0) or 0.01M sodium Citrate Buffer (pH 6.0)


1) Cut and mount sections on slides coated with "apes"

2) Deparrafinize sections and rehydrate to distilled water

3) Place sections in 0.5% hydrogen peroxide/methanol for 10 minutes.(or other appropriate endogeneous peroxidase procedure). Wash sectionsin tap water.

4) Bring 1600ml 1mM EDTA* (pH 8.0) to a boil in a Prestige/Presto stainless steel pressure cooker, using a hot plate. Cover but do not lock lid. Follow operating instructions with your individual unit/microwave etc

5) Bring 1600ml of 1mM EDTA* (pH 8.0) to a boil in a Presto stainless steel pressure cooker,using a hot plate. Cover but do not lock lid.

6) Position slides into metal staining racks (do not place slides close together, uneven staining may occur) and lower into pressure cooker ensuring slides are well immersed in buffer Lock the lid. The air vent/cover and overpressure plug will rise.

7) When the pressure indicator valve (the large one) has risen after about 5 minutes, Incubate sections for 1 minute.

8) Remove pressure cooker from heat source and run under cold water with lid on. When the small valve sinks open lid and remove slides and place immediately into distilled water. DO NOT OPEN LID UNTIL THE Vent Cover Lock Drops OR PRESSURE HAS DROPPED.

9) Wash sections in PBS* buffer (pH 7.5) for 1 X 5 minutes

10) Wash sections in distilled water for 2 X 5 minutes, then wash sections in PBS buffer for 2 X 5 minutes.

11) Place sections in diluted normal serum for 10 minutes.

12) Cover sections with primary antibody. (Optimum dilution, incubation time and temperature must be determined for each antibody and in each lab).

13) Wash in PBS buffer for 2 X 5 minutes

14) Incubate sections in secondary antibody for 30 minutes

15) Wash in PBS buffer for 2 X 5 minutes

16) Incubate slides in ABC complex for 30 minutes

17) Wash in PBS buffer for 2 X 5 minutes  

18) Incubate slides in DAB

19) Wash in distilled water for 2 X 5 minutes

20) Counterstain with haematoxylin (if required), dehydrate, coverslip, and mount

Material:

APES (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) cat#A3648 Sigma

To avoid sections becoming detached, sections should be mounted on "APES" covered slides, then dried at 37 DEG C overnight followed by drying at 56 DEG C for 60 minutes.

1mM EDTA (ph 8.0): Add 0.37g of EDTA (Sigma cat#E-5134) to 1 liter of distilled water. Adjust pH to 8.0 using 1.0M sodium hydroxide.

Tris: 100mmM Tris, 0.15M NaCl, pH 7.5.

PBS: 10mM Phosphate, 0.15M MaCl pH 7.5
