Quick guide to get started with immunohistochemistry double staining
– ImmPRESS Duet Double staining polymer kit (Vector)
Staining the same tissue for two different targets at the same time is not only a great way to increase the information you get from the experiment. It can be used for visualizing different cell types, location of proteins in cell or different tissues, not to mention different proteins close to each other. Adding a second antibody to the mix does not significantly increase the time for the staining procedure, so you can even save time.
Benefits of ImmPRESS Duet:
-Excellent sensitivity
-Easily distinguishable colors – brown (DAB) and magenta (Vector red)
-All the reagents in ready-to-use formulations
-Contains the blocking reagents, duet polymer and the substrates
-No biotin based reagents – no need for avidin-bioting blocking step
