2) Incubate for 30 minutes in TBS with 3% serum (same as host from secondary antibody).

3) Incubate primary antibody diluted appropriately in TBS with 1% serum (same as host from secondary antibody) (without Triton) for 2 hours at room temperature followed by 16 hours at 4°C.

4) 3 x 10 minute washes in TBS.

5) Incubate with secondary antibody diluted appropriately in TBS with1% serum (same as host from secondary antibody).

6) 3 x 10 minute washes in TBS.

7) ABC Elite (1:200 Vector Labs) in TBS.

8) 2 x 10 minute washes in TBS.

9) 1 x 10 minute wash in phosphate buffer (no saline).

10) DAB reaction with 0.06% NiCl added for intensification.

11) 2 x 10 minute washes in PBS.

12) 1 x 10 minute wash in phosphate buffer (no saline).
