Unmasking of complements using proteinase-K in formalin fixed paraffin embedded renal biopsies.

Indian journal of nephrology

Nada R, Kumar A, Kumar VG, Gupta KL, Joshi K.
PMID: 27194832
Indian J Nephrol. 2016 May-Jun;26(3):182-7. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.159558.

Renal biopsy interpretation requires histopathology, direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and electron microscopy. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) sent for light microscopy can be used for DIF after antigen retrieval. However, complement staining has not been satisfactory. We standardized DIF using proteinase-K...
