immunohistochemistry with mouse skin

[konstantin]

hello everybody. recently my supervisor decided to make experiment in vivo, so immunochistochemistry is involved in our study.
Have somebody experience to make immunochistochemistry with mouse skin?
thank's in advance

I can help with Immunohistochemistry. I have done it many times on Human and rat skins to show epidermal innervation.

What is your game plan here?? Have you ever done anything like this before???

[Dr.Stein]

Aha! Innervation! You can help me then! Yay! I am planning to apply IHC to investigate innervation of some viscerals. Hypothetically, it involves ubiquitin system, thus I need primary Ab for ubiquitin. Through references, they suggest me to use PGP 9.5. Unfortunately, I am out of that stuff and it is hard to find it in my country because once I got it from my professor in Japan but now he retired and refused to help me. You know Japanese old man behaviour style ... My question is: Do you know the other candidate(s) for PGP 9.5? Or do you have channel which I can get that? Thank you.

I use PGP 9.5 almost every day. Be careful where you derive your antibodies from so that they are compatible with your blocking serum and secondary antibodies. I use mouse monoclonal and vector elite kit with rabbit serum to block for non fluorescence or mouse monoclonal and cy3 rabbit anti mouse for fluorescence.

I do not know the supplier but I will get you a list later today.

And for the first poster I cant help u if you don't have a protocol in progress.

[Dr.Stein]

OMG! I should be your bestfriend by now, then I can take some of your PGP 9.5! I used to work with monocolonal MoAb and Vector too

[Caspase]

HAHAHA!!!

I think we get our anti-bodies from Novo Castra or Vision Biosystems out of the UK. We also use Vector products and 1 other.

Save the endearment we don't trade or grow our own antibodies.

Good Luck!

[Dr.Stein]

Do you think they serve Indonesia too? As my experience, the delivery fee is much more than the real price of thing I bought

[Caspase]

I think we pay $95 dollars for 1 ml. I need to check that.

[Dr.Stein]

WTH!! US$95/mL?? My salary is only US$10/month OMG I am starting to dig my own grave

[MrMistery]

how can your salary be 10$ a month? That is less than a Mcdonald's meal costs for 2 people...

[Caspase]

WTH!! US$95/mL?? My salary is only US$10/month OMG I am starting to dig my own grave

You get 10$ a month and you are a Doctor?!?!!

Time to apply for some outside funding.

[Caspase]

I just checked our prices and we pay $285 US Dollars for 1 mL of PGP9.5.

Dr. Stein you should ask for a raise.
