DETECTION SYSTEMS
For Animal tissue

When immunohistochemical detection systems for human tissue sections are used to stain mouse and rat tissue sections, background staining may occur due to reactions with mouse and rat endogenous immunoglobulins in the tissue. Therefore, we developed an immunohistochemical detection system for staining of mouse and rat tissue sections.

A report comparing the background staining properties of the detection system on mouse, rat, and human tissue sections is presented.

For Mouse

With mouse primary antibodies

N -Histofine® MOUSESTAIN KIT is the mouse on mouse system. It is designed specifically to allow immunohistochemical staining with a mouse primary antibody on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse tissue sections. This kit consists of Blocking reagent A, Blocking reagent B, and Simple Stain™ Mouse Max PO (M) which is the labeled polymer prepared by combining amino acid polymer with multiple molecules of peroxidase and goat anti-mouse Ig which is reduced to Fab’ fragment. To eliminate background staining, this kit uses Blocking reagent A and Blocking reagent B.

With rabbit, goat or rat primary antibodies

N-Histofine® Simple Stain™ Mouse MAX PO is a detection reagent designed specifically to allow immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse tissue sections. It is the labeled polymer prepared by combining amino acid polymers with peroxidase(PO) and secondary antibody which is reduced to Fab’ fragment. To eliminate background staining, solid-phase adsorption of secondary antibody is carried out with mouse serum.

For Rat

With mouse, rabbit, or goat primary antibodies

N-Histofine® Simple Stain™ Rat MAX PO is a detection reagent designed specifically to allow immnuhistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat tissue sections. It is the labeled polymer prepared by combining amino acid polymers with multiple molecules of peroxidase(PO) and secondary antibody which is reduced to Fab’ fragment. To eliminate background staining, solid-phase adsorption of secondary antibody is conducted with rat, human, dog, pig and bovine serum.

Advantage

When the immunohistochemical detection systems for human tissue sections are used for staining on mouse and rat tissue sections, the background staining may be caused due to such reactivity with endogenous immunoglobulins of mouse and rat in the tissue. So that the immunohistochemical detection systems designed for staining on mouse and rat tissue sections were developed.
