All,

I am posting this message for a friend of mine who is involved in
immunohistochemistry.  She is trying to stain mouse B lymphocytes in tissue
that has been formalin fixed for over 10 days.  She has been using a CD79
antibody from two different sources and has any luck.  She has been able to
stain T lymphs in the same tissue, and the control tissue, canine spleen has
worked well with the CD79 as well as the Tcell antibody.  She is thinking
that the B antigen sites have been denatured by the very long formalin
fixation time.  Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.?  Thanks in advance.
