[Histonet] Multi-Tumor Controls for IHC Validation

[Miranda Giorgi]

Hello,

Does anyone use multi tumor tissue controls for their IHC validations?  If so, what do you use in them?

We have been staining multi-tumor controls with our validation sets on top of the 10 positive and 10 negative cases to test specificity, but we are wondering if this is necessary.  Plus, the blocks are sometimes difficult to maintain.  I'd love to hear what other labs are doing.

Thank you,
