摘要: Altered DNA methylation is a fundamental characteristic of carcinogenesis. The analysis in tumor cells may help to better understand pathogenesis and more importantly be used as diagnostic tool with therapeutic consequences. To detect targets relevant tumorigenesis, it essential separate neoplastic from nonneoplastic cells. An excellent method for isolating specific laser-assisted microdissection (LAM). Target cell identification immunoguided LAM (ILAM) requires immunohistochemistry (IHC). Yet, unclear whether IHC ILAM influences methylation. goals this study were establish an optimized protocol antigen retrieval formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens suitable evaluate its effect on the methylome using high throughput array. Using ten archival FFPE specimens, we showed staining ILAM. Extracted microdissected immunohistochemically or HE P
