Abstract
Rheumatoid facor, nuclei, and γ2 globulins can be identified by immunofluorescence microscopy in alcohol-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, though wax of low melting point is required for preservation of nuclear antigens. Rheumatoid factor also resisted aldehyde fixatives; hence it should be possible to investigate the ultrastructural characteristics of cells containing it.Keywords
