Method Course on Immunohistochemistry (1 ECTS), April 24-25, 2018

 

Venue:

Biocenter Oulu histology lab 479B, Kontinkangas, Aapistie 5A, 90220 Oulu

Teacher:

Lotta Leveelahti, Histolab Products Oy

Organizers:

Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme,

Biocenter Oulu Transgenic Mouse Core Facility, and

Histolab Products Oy

Credits:

1.0 ECTS for field-specific studies in doctoral training

Enquiries:

Dr. Reetta Vuolteenaho, reetta.vuolteenaho(at)oulu.fi

Registration:

The course is limited to about 12 participants selected by application. Priority is given to doctoral students. Online registration/application, deadline April 17.

All applicants will be notified on April 18.

 

This 2-day practical course includes short lectures on each step of the immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocol. Additionally, you get hands-on experience about the micropolymer detection method with human tissue samples. Micropolymer detection enables superior sensitivity and reduced background staining compared to the traditional avidin-biotin-based detection. In the course, we will this time perform simultaneous chromogenic multiplex staining on a paraffin section. Is it as easy as doing a single stain? Come and see!

 

The course participants will do single stainings using their own mouse tissue sections (3-4 slides) and their own primary antibody which has been tested for immunohistochemistry. The human tissue samples, secondary antibodies and reagents for double stainings will be provided by the organizers.
