Massively parallel sequencing of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
Formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedment (FFPE) is the most common method of preserving resected tissues. FFPEs can be easily stored, retrieved and processed for further analysis when compared to the logistical complications of processing fresh frozen (FF) material. Conversely, they may not be ideal for sequencing because of the nucleic acid fragmentation and artifacts introduced by fix...
متن کاملImmunostaining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues for malignant lymphomas.
With the advent of new monoclonal antibodies that are applicable to formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded sections, immunophenotyping is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis and classification of lymphomas. However, multiple factors such as fixation, trypsinization and even type of antibodies used have certain effects on the final outcome of the staining procedure. In this paper we repo...
متن کاملToward deciphering proteomes of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens comprise a potentially valuable resource for both prospective and retrospective biomarker discovery. Unlocking the proteomic profile of clinicopathological FFPE tissues is a critically essential step for annotating clinical findings and predicting biomarkers for ultimate disease prognosis and therapeutic follow-up.
متن کاملNucleic Acids Extraction from Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Tissues
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an important sample source for ret‐ rospective studies. Despite its ability to preserve proteins and cell morphology, formalin hinders molecular biology tests since it fragments and chemically modifies nucleic acids, especially RNA. Although several studies describe techniques that allow extracting nu‐ cleic acids from FFPE tissues, so far the...
متن کاملComparison of MicroRNA Deep Sequencing of Matched Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded and Fresh Frozen Cancer Tissues
MicroRNAs regulate several aspects of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Most cancer tissues are archived formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE). While microRNAs are a more stable form of RNA thought to withstand FFPE-processing and degradation there is only limited evidence for the latter assumption. We examined whether microRNA profiling can be successfully conducted on FFPE cancer ti...
