You can do IHC for hemoglobin.  We use a polyclonal antibody from Dako (A0118).

Hi All,
An investigator has asked me to stain some sections for hemoglobin. I 
have already provided him with an iron stain and he wants to go further 
with it. Can anyone recommend a stain specifically for hemoglobin? I 
have found some for hemosiderin but I am unsure as to if they will be 
sufficient.  If someone could let me know what stain they use and what 
the procedure is I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
-Derek
