SYNOPSIS: This protocol describes how to immunofluorescence stain for Ki67, a marker of cellular proliferation, in paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
ABSTRACT: This protocol describes how to stain sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue for Ki67, a protein marker of proliferation expressed during S, G2, and M phase of the cell cycle. A primary antibody is used to identify and bind to Ki67, and a secondary antibody conjugated to a fluorescent probe identifies and binds the primary antibody for imaging by fluorescence.
