We used to use a pc. Of proliferative endometrium, a pc of secretory emdometrium and a pc of cervix in a multitissue block for our ER/PgR control.

What is it that you want to know?  I used to make frozen multiple tissue control blocks for ER/PR many years ago before these antibodies could be used for FFPE tissues.  You could do the same thing with paraffin embedded tissue.  I've made multi-tissue blocks using a skin biopsy punch tool to obtain small amounts of paraffin-embedded tissues to be used in the control block.

Hello,

Could someone provide some information on the multi-tissue control block  used for IHC? Does anyone have one that is also used for ER/PR too.

Thank you
