The immunoperoxidase method for the detection of immunoglobulins is a lengthy procedure and often involves a trypsin incubation stage. In our experience, sections-particularly from skin biopsies-often lift or are lost altogether. Adhesives such as albumin, chrome alum, and amylopectin have been tried without success, and Romac C331 is no longer available. However, Cow Gum, a rubber solution (Li-Lo Ltd, Woking, Surrev, but also available from most stationers) when diluted with a little petroleum ether, smeared onto slides, and allowed to dry is a completely effective adhesive. Sections are then floated onto the prepared slides and inicubated at 37TC overnight. The adhesive is clear, does not affect immunoperoxidase reactions, andis sufficiently insolublein xylene for the sections to be brought to water and finally counterstained in the usual way. The non-wettable surface of the Cow Gum smear is an advantage in that it limits spreading of thereagents by increasing the angle of contact so that smaller volumes may be used and the risk of the section drying out is reduced.
