[Histonet] Amyloid Stain

[Richard Cartun]

I find IHC for amyloid A (AA) helpful only in kidney; however, it is not requested often.

Hey Guys,

I was hoping to get some help with the best way to approach a request for an
amyloid stain.  The only thing I've ever done in the past is the traditional
Congo Red... however we were wondering how the Amyloid A Immuno stain is.
Our pathologists were wondering if the Amyloid A is more/less reliable and
if there are any limitations associated with this antibody.  I just don't
know that much about it and was hoping you guys could enlighten me!  Thanks
for the help!

Drew
