Hmm, tough one...

Dako  and Kreatech supply type specific in situ hybridization kits either 
singly or in cocktails of homologous types ie 6/11 or 16/18 etc. These would 
probably be suitable for paraffin embedded tissue, although I cannot speak 
from expereince. I certainly have done HPV ISH on paraffin embedded tissue 
with good results (probes were kindly donated by a University in the UK). I 
don't think that you would have to spend that much time working the kits up. 
They are prediluted and are optimised with detection systems. Not all that 
different to IHC really.

Good luck
