ABSTRACT:
A method of immunologically staining a formalin-fixed tissue preparation, which comprises (a) subjecting a formalin-fixed tissue preparation to microwave energy while the tissue preparation is submersed in water for a time sufficient to increase immunostaining efficiency; (b) removing the tissue preparation from the water and cooling; and (c) contacting the tissue preparation with an immunological staining reagent.
