Immunostaining of Tissue

I got this request from one of my facility users:

 

“We would like to localize endogenous CFTR in intracellular i.e. in ER, cis-Golgi, trans-Golgi and secretory granules in native tissue samples.

Is there a good reference that summarizes the best marker proteins and antibodies to use for such immunolocalizations?”

 

Does anyone know of a good reference for this?

 

Sincerely,

 

Claire

Re: Immunostaining of Tissue

Claire-
In general the Swedish site, Human Protein Atlas, is the place to look  for antibodies that work.  I always find it by Googling.
They have checked many antibodies that are commercially available and they tell you on their site which are capable of localizing what appears to be the right protein.
