General notes
Antigen Retrieval Buffer (100X Citrate Buffer) is a special solution that enables rehydration and antigen retrieval to be performed in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections with one step. It is optimal for use with primary antibodies that require citrate buffer pretreatment.
This product contains detergent for emulsification of the paraffin.
1X Dilution: The 100X stock solution should be diluted 100-fold with distilled water before use.
Protocol:
1. Place paraffin-embedded slides in 1x Antigen Retrieval Buffer; cover with a vented plastic wrap, place in microwave and set high power to boil and then set low power to keep it boiling for 10 min. Let the sections cool in the microwave for at least 20 min.
2. Wash sections with hot tap water for 1 min.
3. Wash sections in buffer for 2 x 3 minutes.
4. Continue with IHC protocol as normal.Other kits and reagents for IHC
Other antigen retrieval buffers include: Tris-EDTA buffer pH 9.0 ab93684, EDTA buffer pH 8.0 ab93680, Tris buffer pH 10.0 ab93682, or see the full list of antigen retrieval buffers and enzymes.

Immunohistochemical staining of GFP in the indicated genotypes (n=5 mice per group): Immunohistochemical staining of GFP in the indicated genotypes (n=5 mice per group): The paraffin-embedded sections were deparaffinized with xylene and alcohol and subjected to antigen retrieval by citrate buffer (Abcam, Cat# ab93678), Tris-EDTA buffer (Abcam, Cat# ab93684), EDTA buffer (Abcam, Cat# ab93680), or Tris buffer (Abcam, Cat# ab93682) in a 100°C cooker for 30?min. After blocking, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. 1:500, Chicken anti-GFP, Abcam, Cat#Ab13970. the mouse tissue sections were developed with an IHC Detection kit (Thermo Fisher, Cat#3600) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
