[Histonet] IHC + control question

[Angela Bitting]

My vote has always been for vimentin. See Dako's booklet IHC Staining Methods, 5th Ed, Chapter 19 addresses this.

Posting for a colleague:

Which of the following choices

Cytokeratin (NOS)
Vimentin
s-100
Cd45
Desmin

Would be the best to use as an internal positive control for fixation and processing?
Any supporting literature/references/docuemntation would be very helpful...

Thanks
Luis
