- CSH Protoc. 2008 May 1:2008:pdb.prot4987. doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot4987.
INTRODUCTIONThis protocol describes the sectioning of tissues embedded in paraffin blocks. Paraffin sections require extensive fixation and processing steps but provide superior morphology compared with other sectioning methods. Sectioning paraffin blocks requires experience and should be learned from an experienced researcher, if possible.
