Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) staining for light microscopy
Hi, normally, serum (preferably of the same species in which the secondary antibody is produced, so I guess you're using goat-anti-X secondary antibodies) is used to prevent non-specific binding of your antibodies to any sticky sites.
To block non-specific binding to Fc portions on your antibody.
Both Jasper and Triet are correct.
