Abstract
The Gold Coast Hospital receives surgical specimens from The Republic of Kiribati for processing and reporting. The specimens have prolonged fixation with formalin of unknown concentration. Conventional histopathology slides were generally inter-pretable whereas immunohistochemical staining produced widely discrepant results. In this investigation the factors affecting immu-nohistochemical staining across a range of commonly used diagnostic antibodies (vimentin, cytokeratin 7, CD34 and 45, NSE) were studied.
