described above", p. 3).

Please note my low answer confidence absent any meaningful context. (It's certainly not Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer in this particular case ;-))

  -> ... which I have asked Nelly for.
neutral  Magalie Modert: I also think it is possible. I think the last link of Steffen describes it well with the scheme at p.29. It is the primary antibody and the secondary antibody (or anti-antibody) that form the antibody complexe, it is a common staining method
