Staining Protocol :
1. Deparaffinize and rehydrate formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue section.
2. Add enough drops of Hydrogen Peroxide Block to cover the sections. Incubate for 10 minutes. Wash 2 times in PBS buffer.
3. Perform appropriate pretreatment if required. Wash 3 times in PBS buffer.
4. Apply Immunoblock and incubate for 10-30 minutes at room temperature to block non-specific background staining. Wash 2 times in PBS buffer.
5. Apply mouse or rabbit primary antibody and incubate according to manufacturer's protocol.
6. Wash 3 times in PBS buffer.
7. Apply Mouse/Rabbit Probe HRP and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash 3 times in PBS buffer.
8. Add 50 μl DAB Chromogen to 950ul of DAB Buffer (20X dilution), mix by swirling and apply to tissue. Incubate for 1-10 minutes. Rinse 4 times in PBS buffer.
9. Rinse slide in tap water.
10. Apply Hematoxylin counterstain according to manufacturer’s instructions (optional).
11. Dehydrate if required and cover slips.
