Improved method for trypsin digestion of Paraplast sections before immunofluorescence staining

Formalin-fixed, Paraplast-embedded tissue sections mounted on subbed slides were digested with crude trypsin in modified Sorensen phosphate buffer containing sodium fluoride before immunofluorescence staining. This method prevented detachment of sections from slides during processing, thereby permitting immunofluorescence and histological examinations of adjacent serial sections.
