Table 1. Antibody sources, manufacturers, clones, dilutions, incubation times, and antigen retrieval methods.
Antibody | Antibody source | Clone | Diluition | Incubation time | Antigenal retrieval |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
CD4 | Sino Biological® | M22 | 1:50 | 30 minutes | HIER, citrate pH 6 |
FAS-L | Arigo® | Policlonal | 1:50 | 16 hours | HIER, citrate pH 6 |
Granzyme B | Arigo® | Policlonal | Ready to use | 1 hour | HIER, citrate pH 6 |
Perforin | Arigo® | DG9 | 1:100 | 1 hour | Enzymatic Pepsin |
HIER = heat-induced epitope retrieval. Previously tested mammary gland samples were used as positive controls; negative controls were obtained by replacement of the primary antibody by IgG. Detection system used was NovoLink detection system (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL).
