Immunohistochemistry with Anti-Human Tryptase mAb-Biotin Conjugate

This is the protocol used by Promega R&D on human bladder tissue.

  1. Obtain paraffin blocks of tissue samples and cut 6.0μm sections.
  2. Deparaffinize the section as follows:
    1. Wash 2 times for 5 minutes each in either xylene or Hemo De (xylene substitute)
    2. Soak 3 minutes in 100% ethanol
    3. Soak 3 minutes in 95% ethanol
    4. Soak 3 minutes in 70% ethanol
    5. Wash 2 times for 2 minutes each in PBS
  3. Block the sections for 30 minutes in PBS containing 1.0% BSA.
  4. Incubate with a 1:100 dilution of the Anti-Human Tryptase mAb-Biotin Conjugate in PBS containing 1.0% BSA for 60 minutes at room temperature. Dilution may require optimization with different tissues and different samples.
  5. Wash 3 times for 3 minutes each time with PBS.
  6. Incubate sections for 60 minutes with a streptavidin-Cy3 conjugate (Jackson Immunoresearch, Cat. #016-160-084) diluted 1:2000 in PBS.
  7. Wash 3 times for 3 minutes each time with PBS.
  8. Mount in Vectashield® Mounting Media with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Cat. #H1200).
