Dear all,
I am trying to perform an IHC for a nuclear protein (Stag2) on human tissue sections (10um thickness) on laser capture slides (UV treated).
Without antigen retrieval the IHC does not work. I've been trying AR with Pepsin (In 0.2N HCl) but I get rather patchy staining. My procedure is to incubate the slides at 37C in a coplin jar in a water bath for 5-10 min (tried various durations).
Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing and can suggest alternative methods/improvements to my approach?
Kind regards
Cora
