Hello All,

I have a question about using direct fluorescent antibody staining 
on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. 

Can these antibodies be used reliably for FFPE sections? In an 
earlier post (subject: Veterinary Viral Antibodies), I mentioned that 
the only source I could find of 2 viral antiseras was VMRD and they 
only sold the Direct Fluorescent Conjugated form, but I am not sure 
these will work. Any thoughts from the "Immuno-Gurus" out there?
