Does anybody have experience with immunohistochemistry of FAP (fibroblast activation protein)?

07 July 2014 1 3K Report

I am interested on FAP IHC in breast carcinoma. I would like to know what antibody is the best for FFPE samples. Thank you.

Matthew Lakins

We have had success with the R&D antibody. It's sheep anti-human FAP, cat no. AF3715

Nothing special about the staining, except we had to branch out and buy our first anti-sheep secondary!
