Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The 4-core Fungus Aspergillus, Candida, Histoplasma is an unstained microscope slide consisting of one artificially infected Aspergillus sp. rat lung, one Candida sp. rat lung, one Histoplasma sp. animal tissue, and one negative human lung from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE), which help with the analysis and validation of reagents or to be used as controls for immunohistochemistry (IHC)."}]}]}
Materials and Presentation
Five slides of 4-core Fungus Aspergillus, Candida, Histoplasma tissue microarrays (TMAs), each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with FFPE tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining procedures.
Each control slide contains tissue with known expression of the antigen targeted by the specific antibody. Positive staining on the control slide confirms the antibody’s functionality and the proper execution of the staining protocol.
