title: Immunohistochemical methods for the visualization of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in bovine tissues.
abstract: The peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP), streptavidin-biotin (SB), and avidin-biotin-complex (ABC) techniques have been evaluated for the visualization of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (Mp) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded bovine tissues. The used immunoperoxidase techniques were comparatively better than the Ziehl-Neelsen stain, specially for the demonstration of small number of mycobacteria in tissue sections.
