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 کاملComparison of archival plasma and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue for genotyping in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Biobanks containing formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, as well as frozen serum or plasma, are important resources for molecular epidemiologic studies. However, few studies have compared the reliability of formalin-fixed tissue samples and archival plasma samples for genotyping. We determined the genotype of four proposed genetic risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma [hereditary hemoch...
متن کاملTissue lithography: Microscale dewaxing to enable retrospective studies on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections
We present a new concept, termed tissue lithography (TL), and its implementation which enables retrospective studies on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Tissue lithography uses a microfluidic probe to remove microscale areas of the paraffin layer on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples. Current practices in sample utilization for research and diagnostics require comp...
متن کاملUnravelling the proteome of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue.
Biofluid detectable biomarkers that originate at the site of diseased tissues would be advantageous, in that, they may provide mechanistic information concerning the manifestation and progression of the disease. Unfortunately, tissue biopsies are precious samples that can generally be acquired in small amounts due to the invasive nature of the sample collection. One of the foundations of pathol...
متن کاملImaging of N-Linked Glycans from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Sections Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry
Aberrant glycosylation is associated with most of the diseases. Direct imaging and profiling of N-glycans on tissue sections can reveal tissue-specific and/or disease-associated N-glycans, which not only could serve as molecular signatures for diagnosis but also shed light on the functional roles of these biomolecules. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool that has been used to cor...
