Sarah,

I haven't done too much of this combination, but it can definitely be
done.  I would run your IHC first and then 'counterstain' with the
special stain of choice.  We've used antibodies to pancreatic hormones
and then counterstained with PAS.  The PAS does a better job of
outlining basement membranes as compared to a standard H&E.  I'm not
sure if silver stains would be compatible, but I think there are
possibilities.
