摘要
AimsThe aim of this study was to investigate whether the shelf-life of diagnostic antibodies is longer than the expiry date on the label. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods and resultsFour independent laboratories tested a small number of diagnostic antibodies kept at +4 degrees C for 12-26years, and found them to work perfectly on routine histology sections. %26lt;br%26gt;ConclusionsDiagnostic antibodies may have a workable half-life in excess of 10years, and the emphasis on performance should shift to the preservation of antigenic targets in the tissue.
