Hi Geoff,

The best source of CAT antibody I've found is from 5'-3' in Boulder, CO.,
catalogue # 7-310127. It works pretty well on fixed, cultured primary
cells but seems to require a fairly robust promoter to see results. We
haven't tried it on sections but I suppose that the above caveat applies
even more. Hope this helps and happy staining!
