Assay Protocol

1. Deparafinize FFPE tissue section is carried out as outlined in your protocol. Hydrate tissue with PBS or ImmunoBioScience Universal Immuno buffer. 2. Remove buffer, add 2-4 drops of ImmunoHistoZyme reagent to cover tissue section. 3. Incubate at room temp. for 5 minutes (the time required for optimum digestion of FFPE tissue section will vary with the extent of fixation, generally approx. 5 minutes are sufficient at room temp. In some cases it may require approximately10 minutes at room temp). 4. Discard ImmunoHistoZyme reagent, wash 3-5 times with buffer. 5. The tissue sections are ready for further IHC protocol.

Target Description

ImmunoHistoZyme is an antigen retriever solution used for proteolytic digestion of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections prior to application of antibodies. In IHC most commonly used fixative like formalin mask tissue antigens (cellular, membrane and nuclear) by cross-linking process, this results in poor or no staining in IHC. ImmunoHistoZyme digestion of FFPE tissue section improves accessibility of antibodies to tissue antigens.
