Have you tried damping the background signal with albumin? If that doesn't
work why not try a modified tunnel assay = ISEL (In Situ-Nick end
labeling). If strepavidin is your amplifyer, what concentration of biotin
are you using if any. You might want to tweek the
concentrations...Immunohistochem is an art form more than it is a
science...we learn the hard way.
