title: The immunohistochemical identification of hormone-producing cells in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human pituitary tissue.
abstract: A method is described, combining immunohistochemistry and histological staining methods in the same section, for the identification of ACTH- and STH-producing cells in formalin-fixed, routine processed human pituitary tissue. The results indicate that this method is suitable to employ in practice.
