[Histonet] IHC protocols for Parvovirus Cat and dog

I used to do immunoflourescent staining for CPV and feline 
panleukopenia virus on frozen sections when I worked in a virology 
lab, and they worked fine. I would therefore have expected IHC to 
be possible as well. Are you using formalin fixed tissues? Maybe 
parvo is irreparably damaged by fixation (I seriously doubt it...but) 
Have you looked for protocols for other parvo viruses in other 
species (porcine parvo, aleution disease in minks, human parvo). 
There may be some IHC protocols out there for these that may have 
some helpful information.

You should probably elaborate on "tried everything" if you want 
some specific ideas/recommendations from the Histonet.
Good luck.
