title: Acrolein fixation for immunostaining tyrosine-hydroxylase in paraffin sections.
abstract: Routine histological fixatives barely preserve tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactivity in paraffin sections. fixation in 5% acrolein in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, resulted in good preservation of the enzyme in the tissues investigated.
