Direct immunofluorescence of skin using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections.
The technique of direct immunofluorescence has been applied to skin biopsy specimens fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin wax. The results have been compared with those obtained by using snap-frozen biopsy specimens from the same patients. Trypsinisation of the dewaxed material allowed subsequent detection of immunoglobulins, complement, and fibrinogen. When compared to the fluorescence i...
متن کاملQuantitative PCR for the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded skin sections.
The present report describes a real-time PCR-based procedure to reliably determine the quantity of Leishmania amastigotes in relation to the amount of host tissue in histological skin sections from canine and equine cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The novel diagnostic Leishmania-PCR has a detection limit of <0.02 amastigotes per μg tissue, which corresponds well to the detection limit of immu...
متن کاملDirect analysis and MALDI imaging of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
Formalin fixation, generally followed by paraffin embedding, is the standard and well-established processing method employed by pathologist. This treatment conserves and stabilizes biopsy samples for years. Analysis of FFPE tissues from biopsy libraries has been, so far, a challenge for proteomics biomarker studies. Herein, we present two methods for the direct analysis of formalin-fixed, paraf...
متن کاملMultiparameter immunofluorescence on paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
Immunohistochemical techniques have gained increasing importance in diagnostics and research. While formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue retains excellent morphology, the detection of antigens by immunofluorescence in its sections and especially the demonstration of multiple simultaneous antibodies have limitations. Double immunofluorescence labeling of routinely processed paraffin se...
متن کاملLectin binding to formalin-fixed paraffin sections.
Lectins are potentially useful tools in histopathology for the identification of carbohydrates and distinguishing cells according to their type, differentiation or function. Conjugated to fluorescent or enzyme labels, lectins are simple to use on fresh tissue but fixation and processing sequesters glycoconjugates and dissolves out fat-linked sugars. We describe here the use of labelled antibodi...
