title: One micrometre paraffin sections: an aid to interpretation of immunoperoxidase staining of immunoglobulins.
abstract: A technique is described for obtaining 1 micron sections of tissue embedded in modified paraffin wax using long-edged glass knives. Serial sections can be cut and stained by the immunoperoxidase method to demonstrate multiple antigens in a single cell or to confirm that the immunoglobulin within a cell is monotypic. The improved cytological detail seen in thin paraffin sections permits the more precise localization of intracellular staining.
