Abstract
This chapter describes an immunohistochemistry method to analyze interleukin-1 (IL-1) in oral squamous cell carcinoma. The described protocol has been optimized for IL-1 detection in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded oral tissue sections by light microscopy. A few common pitfalls and problems associated with immunohistochemical staining are discussed.
