The four µm thick paraffin embedded tissue sections will be deparaffinized in three changes of xylene then microwaved for antigen retrieval. The slides will be incubated with primary antibody overnight in the humidity chamber at room temperature. Then, the slides will be incubated with secondary antibody. The peroxidase activity will be made visible with diaminobenzidine.
