Does anyone have any experience with storing formalin fixed breast tissue in 
70% before processing?  I am trying to comply with the new guidelines set forth 
by CAP and ASCO with regard to Her2 and ER/PR and since my lab does not operate 
on the weekend we have been well above the 48 hour recommended formalin 
fixation time.  Does 70% affect antigenicity for either Her2 or ER/PR?  Any 
information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks :)
