External quality assurance and assessment in immunocytochemistry
Histopathology, 1989A quality assurance scheme for immunocytochemistry was started in 1984. There are currently 140 participating laboratories, most of which have shown considerable improvement in their results since joining the scheme. In our experience the supplier of the primary antibody does not affect the quality of the results; the sensitivity of the method used and
