Neutrophil Elastase Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Neutrophil Elastase, Clone NP57, is intended for use in immunocytochemistry. The antibody labels neutrophils and neutrophil precursors, and also reacts (although more weakly) with a minor population of blood monocytes. Neoplastic cells in about 70% of acute myeloid leukaemias are labelled by the antibody, and it is a useful supplement to other antibodies to myeloid markers in the differential identification of acute myeloid leukaemias and extramedullary myeloid cell tumours. Differential identification is aided by the results from a panel of antibodies and traditional histological and enzyme cytochemical methods. Interpretation must be made within the context of the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

| Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections, acetone fixed frozen sections, or cell smears |
| Positive Control: Tonsil, bone marrow |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control, absorption control |
| Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary |
