Blocking with sera is essential to block unspecific absorbance to tissue or to Fc receptors. Using a serum matching the species of secondary antibody is recommended.

Multicolor IHC experiments
In muticolor IHC routinely up to four primary antibodies raised in different host species are used. To reduce species cross-reactivity in your secondary antibody reaction we offer pre-adsorbed secondary antibodies.
