8-OHdG Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

 

Description: 8-OHdG (8-Hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine) is suitable for immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded sections. 21 analogues of 8-OHdG were examined with only two exhibiting mini cross-reactivity. 8-sulfhydrylguanosine and 8-OHG demonstrate some cross-reactivity at high concentrations (at least 2 orders of magnitude were required for positive cross-reactivity.
