on the contrary, even short periods of digestion resulted in disintegration of architectural and cytologic detail and in reduced immunostaining Formalin Fixed Tissues Epithelial tissues, which normally stain with AE1 in frozen sections or in alcohol-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections, stained weakly or not at all when the protease digestion step was omitted In contrast, all three enzymes tested caused a remarkable enhancement of the intensity of the staining, albeit after different digestion intervals In the adenocarcinoma samples that had been fixed for 3-12 hr, a very brief incubation with any one of the three enzymes sufficed to significantly increase immunostaining For cxample, 10 mm incubation with trypsin resulted in a dramatic improvement in the staining of the neoplastic cells in the sample of breast carcinoma fixed in formalin for 24 hr, whereas without trypsin treatment only a weak, focal reaction was noted (Figure 2A and B) It was possible to oven-digest the tissues with any of the enzymes Excessive digestion manifested itself as a progressive detenioration of cytologic detail that affected the cytoplasm most severely It is significant that these changes were accompanied by a reduction rather than an enhancement of the strength of the immunoreaction (Figure 2C) On the other hand, if the tissues had been fixed in formalin for several weeks, no enhancing effect of protease digestion was seen with the short digestion periods, and the point at which optimal results were observed varied in proportion to the period of fixation - the longer the fixation time, the longer the period of digestion required to produce optimal staining (Figure 3) The increased immunoreactivity of keratins varied with the tissue type and the duration of proteolysis, as shown for trypsin in Table 1 Some tissues showed improved staining after brief incubation with the enzyme, whereas others required longer incubation times to reach optimal immunostaining However, for any given tissue, longer digestion was necessary as the duration of fixation was increased There was no noticeable advantage of one proteolytic enzyme oven the others, except that pepsin required shorten incubation to yield optimal results No artifactual staining of nonepithelial tissues was noticed with any of the three proteases tested, irrespective ofthe duration ofincubation However, with long (180 mm) incubation in trypsin, we observed increased background staining of stroma, particularly in collagen-rich tissues Discussion Immunostaining of keratin is one of the most useful immunohistochemical tests currently available for tumor diagnosis (3,4) With the use of one of several wide-spectrum anti-keratin antibodies that are commercially available, undifferentiated carcinoma and other epithelial neoplasms can now be readily distinguished from melanoma, lymphoma, and other nonepithelial tumors, which they frequently resemble (4) However, reproducibility of results among various laboratories continues to be a prob- 1cm, even when comparable monoclonal antibodies arc used Disagreements probably result from variations in the sensitivity of the methods used by the various researchers as well as from the use of the less sensitive heterologous antisera Although some antigens arc permanently destroyed by formalin fixation, many remain well preserved; they may, however, be masked, probably because of cross-linking of proteins around the antigenic site It seems, from the present study, that the process responsible for the masking of the antigenic sites is a progressive one that is worsened by prolonged immersion of the tissues in formain A number of antigens - immunoglobulins, for example - may be unmasked by protcase digestion of formaldehyde-fixed sections, but the mechanism for this rescue of antigenicity is unknown (10,1 1) If the antigen is susceptible to the digestive action of the proteolytic enzyme, the enhancing effect may not take place, or it may occur only at a critical and possibly variable time However, if the antigen is resistant to the digestive enzyme, as kenatins appear to be, the unmasking action will not only become manifest, but may be optimized by an increase in the digestion period to compensate for prolonged formalin fixation Adherence to a fixed scheme ofenzymatic digestion therefore may be responsible for false-negative results if the length of the fixation period is not taken into account Although all three proteases that we studied had a similar enhancing effect - if adjustments were made for their different rate of digestion - this may not be true for other antigens, which may have different sensitivities to the different enzymes and thus may be improved selectively by a particular protease
