LMP1 Antibody (S20-D)

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin protocol for LMP1 Antibody (NBP1-79009):
1. Deparaffinize the section in 3 changes of xylene, 5 minutes each.
2. Wash the section in 96%, 80% and 70% ethyl alcohol for 5 minutes each.
3. Rinse in distilled water.
4. Block the endogenous peroxidase by incubating the tissue in 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 10 minutes.
5. Wash in distilled water for 5 minutes.
6. For antigen retrieval: immerse the slide in the citrate buffer, pH 6.0, 0.05% Tween-20*, and incubate in water
bath at 96C for 40 minutes. (Alternatively adjust to your own protocol, keeping the required pH)

wet chamber.
11. Wash twice 5 minutes with buffer A.
12. Apply the secondary antibody (the protocol depends on the supplier), and proceed to standard
immunohistochemistry protocol (HRP - Peroxide - DAB).
13. Wash twice 5 minutes with buffer A.
14. Apply the chromogen (DAB), 10 minutes.
