Abstract:
Compositions and methods are described for enhancing the immunohistochemical staining of tissue samples. Compositions include a single solution, which includes at least one surfactant, adapted to remove an embedding medium of a tissue sample, rehydrate the tissue sample, and enhance the immunohistochemical staining of the tissue in relation to immunohistochemical staining of unreacted tissue. Methods include heating the tissue sample with the composition to enhance the immunohistochemical staining of the tissue.
