I'm using LTP-induced rat brain slice for IHC
and I want to check BrdU, PCNA, GFAP and DCX
So, I did double labelling like this.
1. BrdU/PCNA
2. BrdU/GFAP
3. BrdU/DCX
4. PCNA/DCX
5. PCNA/GFAP
Hoechst is added to all of these.
But,, only first and second combinations were stained.
moreover, I couldn't see any nucleus(Hoechst) at all!
so, I checked whether each of antibodies(for BrdU, PCNA,
DCX and GFAP) work using tissues of the same brain.
and it did and I could see nucleus, too.
then, I did those double labelling thing again.
and the result was same with first trial.
Hmmm, do they interfere each other?
I don't know what the problem is!
Do you have any suggestion?
