Jim,
Run a few trials years ago using a number of techniques, my
priorities changed so didn't complete the trials. Here are the references
for the techniques I used. They all worked, but would need a wee bit of
tinkering for optimum results.

Carbonic anhydrase III: A new histochemical marker for
myoepithelial cells.
Been wracking the brain for hints and tips but as I didn't spent
much time with the technique can't be of much use. The first reference by
Denis Brown in Stain technology was the one I used most. It's based on the
original method by Hansson, was simple and fairly reliable. If I was to
start again this would be my first trial.
I'm sure if you run a literature search you'll come up with a bunch
of more recent references.
Best of luck.
Ian.
