ruth, we do immuno on all of our gastric bx's.  we do them every day, the 
tech that comes in early cuts them and puts them in the 58 oven.  the drs 
like them coming to them with the case.  I was in a lecture at nat. meeting 
and the person said that the immuno stain was one of the best ways to 
demonstrate them.  I could probably find the lecture for you in my national 
notebooks, if you like.
