AW: [Histonet] destaining cyto slides for immuno

[Gudrun Lang]

We do p16-stain on PAP-smears on the Ventana Benchmark. The retrieval step
removes the dye, so there's no extra procedure needed.

PAP smears are not formalin fixed specimen, but a mild antigen retrieval
improves the result and destains the slides.

Betreff: [Histonet] destaining cyto slides for immuno

Hi All,
 
  How would you go about destaining a cyto slide and running a
CKAE1/AE3?  I was told that acid alcohol to remove the stain beforehand
may not be necessary as heat retrieval may remove it adequately enough.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
 
Thanks,
 
Jen
