Immunohistochemical analysis of formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded human Ovarian carcinoma tissue sectioins labeling Fibroblast activation protein with ab207178 at 1/500. Biotin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG at 1/300 was used as the secondary antibody. Antigen retrieval was heat mediated using citric acid.
