Control tissue with CytoSections

OriGene CytoSections

CytoSections is a verified, reproducible and renewable source of positive control where the target protein is expressed in human HEK293T cells. The expression of the target protein is verified by a western blot.

'An ideal alternate to control tissue'

Key features

FFPE sections of cell pellets over-expressing targeted biomarkers
Expression of target biomarker verified for accuracy and specificity by western blot
Both positive (cell transfected with the target protein) and negative (mock transfected cells) control are available for all targets genome wide
All proteins tagged at the c-terminal with myc-DDK
Available for genome wide targets for both human & mouse
Custom option available: pellet composition, density

Application

Routine control for all IHC protocols, run alongside your samples
Monitor the performance of your IHC workflows with independent control, identity and control inter and intra operator variability in your IHC protocols
Screen & set standards for sensitivity and specificity of your antibodies across different lots
A common standard and reference point for multi-center clinical trials
Develop custom multiplex assays for sensitivity and specificity

OriGene provides the slides unbaked. They recommend that you bake the control slides(s) according to your standard laboratory operating protocol. Baking control slides in your lab will generate uniform staining across experiments and prevent inherent variables from equipment, technology, and protocols that vary from lab to lab.

CytoSections are not guaranteed for other markers that may or may not be represented on the control tissue slide. Antibody screens or stains are only meant to be used for research use only. Final decision on antibody screen or staining of tissue should be based on stain, or antibody manufacturer data sheets and input from a pathologist.
