Cindi,
The recipe for PLP (Periodate-Lysine-Paraformaldehyde) fixative and a sample
protocol (at least for immuno) using perfusion fixation is on the Chemicon
website at:
http://www.chemicon.com/techsupp/Protocol/perfusion.asp
There are a few instances of using PLP with paraffin embedding, so the
processing should work OK. Whether you can retrieve reactivity from paraffin
sections seems to be related to the antigen. For example, see the NIEHS website:
