Immunohistochemistry and special stains play an increasingly important role in gastrointestinal pathology practice. In neoplastic disorders they are used to confirm the diagnosis, identify prognostic/predictive
Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of immunohistochemistry these techniques are rarely used for the routine evaluation of tissue specimens for glycogen or the proteoglycans and the special stains described in this chapter remain the standard means for the evaluation of these substances. Immunohis...
“We have been using the same detection system for a long time and see no reason to change. Sometimes our stains are weak and are not as sharp as we would expect.” Sections A and B are from the same specimen but have been stained using different detection systems. Note the dif...

Immunohistochemistry assists in supporting breast origin for primary or metastatic carcinomas and identifying non-mammary metastases to the breast; however, no single immunostain is perfectly sensitive nor specific. GATA3 and Sox10 are particularly useful immunostains to identify triple negative breast ...
The de-paraffinization process removes paraffin-embedded into the tissue and rehydrates the tissue with an aqueous solution in preparation for IHC staining. Failure to remove paraffin in FFPE sections will prevent antibodies from reacting with their target antigens, resulting in poor quality stains. ...
Microwave technology has been used in numerous areas of pathology and research. Applications have been developed for special and routine stains and a limited number for immunostaining. In this report, microwave enhanced immunohistochemical staining in the standard avidin-biotin methodology is demonstrated ...
Counterstains provide contrast to the primary stain and can be cell structure-specific. These single-step stains are usually added after antibody staining. Common counterstains include hematoxylin, eosin, nuclear fast red, methyl green, ...
