Hi Deb



We use the CyclinD1-GM from Novocastra, found it to be the best one so far.
CyclinD-1 is a tricky unstable antibody....likes to give problems. So donot
feel alone; going bald, well donot do it for the cyclind-1!
 Yes, sometimes it works great and at other times a bit iffy..
We microwave in an alkaline pH ( Trisbase at pH 10) for 20 mins on high in
a domestic microwave, allow to cool for 20 mins. Incubate with primary at a
1:25 dilution overnight at rt and use the ABC detection ; biotinylated goat
anti-mouse 1:200 for 30 mins and Streptavidin peroxidase at 1:500 for 30
mins at rt. DAB as the chromagen. Give it a try, GOOD LUCK....wave your
magic IHC wand before you start.
