Reference: J:32196 Trautman MS, et al., Developmental expression of syndecan, an integral membrane proteoglycan, correlates with cell differentiation. Development. 1991 Jan;111(1):213-20
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:2136143
Gene symbol: Sdc1
Gene name: syndecan 1
Antibody: 281-2
Detection system: Biotinylated secondary antibody/[Strept]avidin coupled to horseradish peroxidase
Assay notes: Tissues were fixed in Carnoy's fluid (ethanol, chloroform, glacial acetic acid). Authors report identical changes in expression were seen with Bouin's and Sainte Marie's fixatives, as well as after pre-treating sections with chondroitinase ABC.
