Daniel,
It might be worth your while to attempt antigen retrieval at a pH of 10 or
11 in an electric pressure cooker. You could also try the "double whammy"
(antigen retrieval and enzyme digestion(protease or trypsin)). If this
fails then the tissue is problably beyond resuscitation.

Subject: Antigen Retrieval Methods
I currently have a rare Parkinson's case that I
am having trouble staining. This tissue has been
fixing in formalin for 13yrs. I am attempting to
stain this tissue with several alpha-synuclein
antibodies that we produce. To date, I have tried
formic acid, proteinase-K, microwave, and boiling
treatments. Any advice on other methods that might be
worth trying would be appreciated. Thanks for your
help
