[Histonet] Immunostaining after prolonged formalin immersion?

[Tim Wheelock]

Hi Everyone:

If  tissue has been sitting in 10 % neutral buffered formalin for 3-5 
years, can excellent immunostaining still be done on it.
I am guessing that some sort of antigen retrieval technique can be done 
on the tissue, but I am not sure, since we don't do immunostaining 
ourselves.

Thanks,

Tim
