The effect of different fixatives and length of fixation time on subsequent AgNOR staining for frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue sections

Summary The AgNOR technique has been used extensively in studies investigating the possibility that the numbers and appearances of the intranuclear structures stained are markers of malignancy. The method has the advantage of being applicable to many different types of histological material, including paraffin-embedded tissue. However, it has been suggested that the visualization of AgNORs is dependent on the type and time of fixation employed. This study set out to measure this effect with the following commonly-used fixatives: acetone, absolute ethanol, methanol, Carnoy's fluid, Bouin's fluid, 4% glutaraldehyde, 10% neutral buffered formalin and 10% formol-saline. Both frozen sections and blocks of fresh tonsil were fixed for varying times, the blocks of tissue then being processed routinely. With the frozen sections AgNORs were easier to discern than in sections of paraffin-embedded tissue, and more intranucleolar AgNORs were visible when alcoholic fixatives were used than with aldehyde fixation. The effects of different fixatives on AgNOR appearance in paraffin sections is, however, more complex. Despite the variation caused by different fixatives, AgNORs could be demonstrated adequately with all the fixatives studied. It is concluded that fixation is not a limitation to the study of AgNORs provided that the time and type of fixative is controlled.     

Fixation-dependent cytoplasmic false-positive staining with an immunoperoxidase method

Fixation-dependent nonspecific staining with the unlabeled immunoperoxidase (PAP) method was studied using paraffin-embedded human spleen sections fixed in various fixatives; the specific primary antiserum was omitted or nonimmunized normal rabbit serum was used. Strong cytoplasmic staining of polymorphonuclear leucocytes and macrophages was found after fixation in acetone, alcoholic formalin (94% alcohol) and absolute ethanol. This staining was mainly produced by the second layer of the PAP method. The most probable explanation of this phenomenon is nonspecific protein-immunoglobulin interaction as a result of alcoholic or acetone fixation of the sections. The present findings point to the importance of controls for each case under study to avoid false-positive interpretations.     

The influence of fixation and tissue preparation on the immunohistochemical demonstration of fibronectin in human tissue

The influence of fixation and tissue preparation on the immunohistochemical localization of human fibronectin in gastrointestinal tract tissue has been examined using indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The most optimal staining result with strong intensity and well defined localization was obtained on frozen sections of unfixed material. Nearly identical results with improved morphology were obtained when staining paraffin sections of tissue fixed in 96% ethanol, 96% + 1% acetic acid and absolute acetone. All other fixatives tested, 10% neutral buffered formalin. Lillie's AAF, Bouin's fixative, Clarke's fixative, 4% formaldehyde, 4% formaldehyde + 0.5% cetylpyridiniumchloride (F-CPC), 4% formaldehyde +0.1% glutaraldehyde gave unsatisfactory results. However, proteolytic digestion with pepsin of paraffin sections prior to staining of buffered formalin and F-CPCfixed material gave results comparable with those obtained on unfixed frozen sections are regards definition of the staining whereas staining intensity was decreased in some degree. No improvement was observed when using proteolytic digestion of tissue fixed in other fixatives.     

Optimizing Staining Protocols for Laser Microdissection of Specific Cell Types from the Testis Including Carcinoma In Situ

Microarray and RT-PCR based methods are important tools for analysis of gene expression; however, in tissues containing many different cells types, such as the testis, characterization of gene expression in specific cell types can be severely hampered by noise from other cells. The laser microdissection technology allows for enrichment of specific cell types. However, when the cells are not morphologically distinguishable, it is necessary to use a specific staining method for the target cells. In this study we have tested different fixatives, storage conditions for frozen sections and staining protocols, and present two staining protocols for frozen sections, one for fast and specific staining of fetal germ cells, testicular carcinoma in situ cells, and other cells with embryonic stem cell-like properties that express the alkaline phosphatase, and one for specific staining of lipid droplet-containing cells, which is useful for isolation of the androgen-producing Leydig cells. Both protocols retain a morphology that is compatible with laser microdissection and yield RNA of a quality suitable for PCR and microarray analysis.     

Lymphocyte Membrane Antigens in Glycol Methacrylate Embedded Tissue

The use of formalin or Michel's solution either alone or in combination with acetone, and acetone, methanol or ethanol alone as fixatives, and glycol methacrylate as embedding medium were evaluated for their suitability in procedures to detect lymphocyte membrane antigens by OKT and Leu monoclonal antibodies in human tonsils. No staining was detected in sections fixed in 70% or absolute ethanol and embedded in glycol methacrylate with either the direct immunofluorescence or avidin-biotin methods. Fixation in Michel's solutions plus acetone at room temperature revealed staining by both. Neither method resulted in staining after fixation in Michel's solution plus acetone at 4 C presumably due to the slow action of the fixative. Staining was enhanced using a combination of primary and secondary biotinylated antibodies. Dual staining allowed concurrent detection of two antigens in the same section. Glycol methacrylate embedding is a possible replacement for ultracold storage in the preservation of tissue for immunofluorescent staining.

Effect of Immunohistochemistry on Molecular Analysis of Tissue Samples: Implications for Microdissection Technologies

Laser-based tissue microdissection is an important tool for the molecular evaluation of histological sections. The technology has continued to advance since its initial commercialization in the 1990s, with improvements in many aspects of the process. More recent developments are tailored toward an automated, operator-independent mode that relies on antibodies as targeting probes, such as immuno–laser capture microdissection or expression microdissection (xMD). Central to the utility of expression-based dissection techniques is the effect of the staining process on the biomolecules in histological sections. To investigate this issue, the authors analyzed DNA, RNA, and protein in immunostained, microdissected samples. DNA was the most robust molecule, exhibiting no significant change in quality after immunostaining but a variable 50% to 75% decrease in the total yield. In contrast, RNA in frozen and ethanol-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples was susceptible to hydrolysis and digestion by endogenous RNases during the initial steps of staining. Proteins from immunostained tissues were successfully analyzed by one-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry but were less amenable to solution phase assays. Overall, the results suggest investigators can use immunoguided microdissection methods for important analytic techniques; however, continued improvements in staining protocols and molecular extraction methods are key to further advancing the capability of these methods.     

Effects of fixation and processing on the immunohistochemical visualization of type-I, -III and -IV collagen in paraffin-embedded liver tissue

Summary We compared the effects of different fixatives and enzymatic-digestion procedures on the immunohistochemical visualization of type-I,-III and-IV collagen in paraffin-embedded normal human liver sections. None of the fixatives tested allowed the staining of these antigens without prior enzymatic digestion. The best results i.e. strong staining intensity and well-defined localization, were obtained when liver tissue was fixed in Bouin's fluid or in other solutions containing picric acid. Several other fixatives, including Carnoy's fluid, Lillie's AAF, 10% neutral formalin and 96% ethanol, gave unsatisfactory results. Pepsin was ineffective for unmasking type-I and-III collagen antigens, and was only partially effective for visualizing the type-IV collagen antigen. The best results were obtained when material fixed in Bouin's fluid was embedded in paraftin and digested with trypsin. Using this procedure, the results were comparable to those obtained in unfixed frozen sections with respect to the staining intensity, specificity and non-specific staining.
