Happy Friday fellow Histo's does anyone have hands on experience with
testing intraepidermal nerve fibers. This test is assessing intrapedimeral
nerve fibers density using skin biopsy and immunostaining (PGP 9.5 -13C4).
This identification allows the pathologist to count the small nerve fibers.
I am unable to locate a protocol with all the specifics to make this work. I
have been tweaking it on paraffin embedded tissue but only have seen a small
amount of nerves. Anyone have a successful method to make this work?
Thank You,
Tiffeny Magee
