[Use of a new silicon chamber system for carrying out immunologic technics with blood and bone marrow samples and...

We are reporting for the first time on the successful application of the newly developed method of Silicon-Chamber-System (SCS). For this purpose we are utilizing a commonly manufactured silicon sealant by which we are able to obtain reaction fields of any size and number. We are applying the sealant on cell- and on tissue-slides without any special preparation. These reaction fields on the slides allow us to immunohistochemically analyse cells with multiple different monoclonal antibodies without running great risk of a cross-reaction between the different immunoreagents. It is a simple inexpensive and convenient method, giving us the opportunity to analyze elaborate cell material.
