[Histonet] IHC on paraformaldehyde-fixed

Wed Dec 3 15:33:57 CST 2008

Has anyone ever done IHC on parafomaldehyde-fixed tissues, and if so, how well did it work?  Will the same antigen-retrieval methods used with formalin-fixed tissue be applicable?

I'm asking for an investigator, who already has his tissues fixed in paraformaldehyde.
