Localization of hepatitis C virus antigen(s) by immunohistochemistry on fixed-embedded liver tissue

Arch Virol Suppl. 1992:4:191-5. doi: 10.1007/978-3-7091-5633-9_40.

Abstract

Using two sources of primary antibodies, we immunohistochemically stained hepatitis C virus-related antigen(s) on fixed-embedded liver specimens. These antigens were localized in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. The results obtained serologically correlated well with immunohistochemistry.
