We don't bother decolorizing H&Es since the IHC methodology generally
takes out the histochemical staining....also, we're counterstaining with
hematoxylin anyway. You should have no problem doing CK20 over an H&E.

Hello,
I need to decolorize an H&E stained section for Cytokeratin 20 and I
would like to know the proper way of decolorizing for IHC. Is it even
possible to get a CK 20 positive stain after doing so?
Thanks,
