What duration would you see as "extensive" fixation?
18-24 hours? Or beyond?

Yep,
Extensive NBF fixation tends to rinse out the extra-cellular immunoglobulins
and so decreases its contribution to the background staining.

Betreff: [Histonet] experiences with kappa/lambda
Hi listmembers,
Please tell me about your experiences with the IHC-demonstration of kappa
and lambda on FFPE-sections.
We have some troubles about inconsistend staining and therefore false
results about the monoclonality of tumors.
Bye
Gudrun
