I've been attempting to do some multi-colour fluorescence labelling of FFPE 
lymphoma tissue - usually I only use frozen tissue. It was all going smoothly 
on some FFPE tonsil sections but with the lymphoma tissues I see punctate 
nuclear staining with an epitope that should not be nuclear (CD32) - in some 
samples it appears as punctate staining all over the nuclei but in other 
samples it appears as a perinuclear halo. It only occurred with one particular 
antibody (rabbit anti-CD32) and not with rabbit anti-CD20 or mouse anti-CD68. 
Could this staining just be an artefact - is this common with FFPE tissue and 
is there something I can do to get rid of it.

Thanks
Sonya
