组织在制作过程中，由于化学试剂的作用封闭了抗原，又由于热的作用致使部分抗原的肽链发生扭曲，致使在免疫组化的染色过程中不能将其显示出来，为了解决上述的问题，利用化学试剂和热的作用将这些抗原重新暴露出来或修正过来的过程称为抗原修复。柠檬酸盐、EDTA或Tris等缓冲液在热的条件下可以使被福尔马林屏蔽的抗原重新暴露出来，同时又不会对抗原表位造成破坏，从而提高抗原的检出率，降低背景染色，提高诊断的准确率。
Tris-EDTA抗原修复液 (10×, pH 8.0)可以有效去除醛类固定试剂导致的蛋白之间的交联，充分暴露石蜡切片等样品中的抗原表位，可以用于石蜡切片、冰冻切片等样品使用多聚甲醛、甲醛或其它醛类试剂固定后的抗原修复。抗原修复可以提高石蜡切片的免疫染色效果，亦可以不同程度的提高冰冻切片的染色效果；当冰冻切片免疫染色效果不理想时，可考虑进行抗原修复；按照每个片子需要10ml抗原修复液 (1×)计算，100ml抗原修复液 (10×)可以用于100个样本的抗原修复。该试剂仅用于科研领域，不适用于临床诊断或其他用途。

During tissue preparation, antigens are masked by the effects of chemical reagents, and the peptide chains of some antigens become distorted due to heating. As a result, these antigens cannot be visualized during immunohistochemical staining. To address these issues, the process of re-exposing or restoring these antigens using chemical reagents and heat is called antigen retrieval. Buffers such as citrate, EDTA, or Tris can re-expose antigens masked by formalin under heating conditions without damaging antigenic epitopes, thereby improving antigen detection rates, reducing background staining, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
Tris-EDTA Antigen Retrieval Solution (10×, pH 8.0) can effectively eliminate protein cross-linking caused by aldehyde-based fixatives and fully expose antigenic epitopes in samples such as paraffin sections. It is suitable for antigen retrieval of paraffin sections, frozen sections and other samples fixed with paraformaldehyde, formaldehyde or other aldehyde-based reagents. Antigen retrieval can improve the immunostaining effect of paraffin sections and enhance the staining effect of frozen sections to varying degrees; when the immunostaining effect of frozen sections is unsatisfactory, antigen retrieval is recommended. Based on a dosage of 10 ml of 1× antigen retrieval solution per slide, 100 ml of the 10× concentrated solution can be used for antigen retrieval of 100 samples. This reagent is intended for research purposes only and not for clinical diagnosis or other applications.
