Hi Kara,
Use multi-tissue block controls with normal tissues that are treated
exactly the same (pre-analytically speaking) as your routine surgical
specimens. Consult NordiQC.org for recommended normal control tissue for
each IHC marker. The most used multi-tissue control block in my lab has

Hi martha,
Prognostic markers must be re-validated (Eg.s Breast markers and CD117) as
you described.
Every Ab in your menu should be tested (as you would for a new a new lot)
and do not forget to validate your H&E (with various tissue types) and SS
as well. For the H&Es, if possible do side-by-sid

When validating an IHC procedure, regulatory guidelines like CLIA are not
concerned so much with the types of specimens upon which the procedure will be
applied as they are with how appropriately a given procedure detects different

I agree Terry,
The TMA slide is a very economical and powerful way to validate with

Many labs have turned to tissue microarrays (TMAs) for validating antibodies
for IHC testing as a matter of convenience and lower cost. Ideally, the
tissues used to make the TMA(s) should be fixed in the formalin that is used in
your laboratory, as well as processed in your Histology laboratory
All you would need to do is id the tissue and dx on your paperwork. it should
not be any different than running each blocks alone.

Hi Laurie,
Ideally, you would like to validate both with tissues processed in your

Hello all,
A year or so ago,
Hi,
Think of yourself as a reference lab as well. You have a validated
protocol for one clone already. Validate the new clone against the
current. Your medical director can help you determine how many cases are
sufficient. Depending on the antibody we validate anywhere from five
cases to twenty.
Hi Michael:
This is what I think, for what it is worth:
1- if you and the reference lab are using different clones, that is not much of
a validation,
2- additionally the validation using another lab poses additional problems: it
is not only the instrument they are using, but how they use it, wh

Use outside controls to validate your own internal controls. Normal control
tissue is acceptable and is useful because it has consistent expression of the
antigen. Cancer tissue is quite variable in expression and sometimes the
expected expression is less than the normal tissue, and sometim
I had never done that and it would be necessary only if the tissues you are
using were fixed in a different way to yours.
Tissue fixation is the step that could affect reactivity because if the tissue
has been fixed in an alcoholic fixative it would not need HIER and it is

It will depend in how you do the validation: manually or with a high output
autostainer.

Not really because the Hematoxylin should "affect" only the nuclei UNLESS it is
a nuclear antibody, in which case the antigenic reaction could be obscured.
For nuclear Abs I used to dilute my hematoxylin as much as possible or did not
use it at all.
