Simplified fixative medium for direct immunofluorescence in skin biopsies.

Abstract:

:The main limitation for the use of direct immunofluorescence in skin biopsies was the necessity for frozen tissue. In 1973 Michel et al reported use of a liquid fixative, consisting of ammonium sulfate, N-ethyl-maleimide, magnesium sulfate, and potassium citrate, for handling skin biopsy specimens. The present study introduces a simplified liquid fixative medium consisting only of ammonium sulfate and saline. Comparisons of direct immunofluorescence findings in biopsy specimens transported in these two transport media and in fresh-frozen specimens revealed only minimal differences between the three different procedures.
