1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to standardize the immunohistochemical detection of ERBB2, we evaluated six normal breast samples and 58 breast carcinomas for (1) the effect of four different fixatives (Bouin's fluid, buffered formalin, alcoholic formalin, and methacarn), and (2) the sensitivity and specificity of eight commercially available antibodies.
