Positive Control: Lung: Nuclear TTF1 staining should be strong in pneumocytes and in basal cells of the terminal bronchioles while a weaker, still moderate to strong staining should be seen in columnar epithelial cells of the terminal bronchioles (low expressor control) . Negative Control: Liver: TTF1 staining must not be seen in any cells. Cellular Localization: Nucleus Protocol Recommendations: Manual Protocol: Freshly cut sections should be used (less than 10 days between cutting and staining) . Heat-induced antigen retrieval for 5 minutes in an autoclave at 121°C in pH 7.8 Target Retrieval Solution buffer. Apply the antibody at a dilution of 1:100 at 37°C for 60 minutes. Visualization of bound antibody by the EnVision Kit (Dako, Agilent) according to the manufacturer’s directions.
