We make cultures of mouse fetal cortical neurons. We are using Abclonal's EEA1 polyclonal antibody (Cat. #A0592) at 1:100 for immunofluorescence followed by a good secondary antibody (e.g., Goat-anti rabbit-Alexa 594 at 1:2000). Sometimes background fluorescence is high. We've found that washing 5 times (5 minutes each time) with PBS after each antibody step reduces backgound.
