Overview

We provide customized immunohistochemistry and nucleic acid detection services:

  • In depth consultations to assess staining strategies. Includes customized antibody and control tissue searches -- many human control tissues and cell lines are already available
  • Chromogenic or fluorescent detection methods offered
  • Custom FISH services for any genomic target(s) of interest
  • Multiplex staining available

Fees

Investigator supplies primary antibodies unless the IHC core already has the primary optimized. There are no guaranteed results from using this service. Fees will be accessed on work done and not outcome. Please provide primary antibody spec sheets with requisition. For best results please have your tissue processed and sectioned in our TMA/Histology Core facility. Please note that prices are subject to change and you should contact the lab to verify pricing. These prices are for JHU affiliates. All others should inquire with Helen Fedor (hfedor@jhmi.edu).
