Abstract | Immunohistochemistry (IHC) using formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues (FFPE) has been used for many years in clinical diagnoses and retrospective studies due to superior preservation of cell morphology. Standardization of IHC has become an important issue for quantitative IHC, for which there is no optimal standard. This study investigates the possibility of using vimentin or histone H1 as internal controls, using tissue microarrays constructed using both pig and human tissues fixed over varying formalin fixation lengths. IHC both with and without antigen retrieval (AR) analysis was conducted, and it was concluded that neither antibodies were viable for use an internal control due to the lack of variance in staining strength over varying fixation times. It was shown that AR equalizes signal strength over most formalin fixation lengths, thus supporting previous work stating that standardization of IHC may use an optimal AR protocol to equalize IHC intensity. |
