Re: [Histonet] her-2 nuclear staining
The cases that you find nuclear staining, how long have they been fixed? My
understanding of doing Her-2 is that the tissue has to be fixed minimum 24
hours in 10% NBF (regardless of the size) to avoid false +/- staining.
"Underfixation" is generally bigger problem than "overfixation" and I have
wittnessed false nuclear staining with some antibodies.
