Are you using a retrieval step? Because sometimes over-retrieving the tissue causes faint "staining" in the nucleus.


we work with tissue cultures only, so I guess we do not perform retrieval step.



permeableisation (triton x) is a form of antigen retrieval (after a fashion) you could try reducing the time in triton x or use a protease based digestion.
