title: [Immunofluorescence studies of experimental glomerulonephritis in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded material (author's transl)].
abstract: Immunofluorescence studies are an essential part of the diagnosis in glomerulonephritis. For these studies unfixed, frozen material was used only, on account of intense background staining of formalin-fixed slides. A method developed by Huang (1975) was tested on experimental glomerulonephritis. He succeeded in minimizing the background staining of formalin-fixed liver tissue with pronase-treatment. Our results show no differences in the immunofluorescence of the experimental glomerulonephritis between frozen and paraffin-embedded sections. It seems to be possible therefore to investigate a glomerulonephritis in formalin-fixed material by this method.
