Do you do renal transplant? If yes, look for renal biopsies submitted for immunofluorescence studies, Let the Pathologists confirm that the biopsy is acute cellular rejection from renal transplant, because acute cellular rejection from kidney transplant is known to be positive for c4d. After the studies, cut some extra frozen sections from this biopsy and fix in acetone for 20 mins, and cover the slide with parafilm to avoid cracking of slide and store in the freezer. They are good for some months.
