Immunocytochemistry performed on paraffin or cryosections is often hampered by poor morphology. Epoxy sections, in contrast, generally retain well-preserved tissue architecture. Immunocytochemistry, however, on epoxy-embedded sections is difficult due in part to the plastic itself and to the fixation conditions.
