DEPARAFFINIZE
    1.  Heat to 70o C for 10 min or to 60o C for 30 min.
    2.  Immediately place slides in             xylene          2 x 5 min
                                                              96% EtOh    2 x 3 min
                                                              90% EtOh    1 x 3 min
                                                              80% EtOh    1 x 3 min
                                                              di H2 O         1 x 3 min
    3.  Circle sections with PAP pen and return to diH2 O.

PRETREAT
    1.  Incubate with Proteinase K at RT for 30 min.
    2.  Wash with diH2O, 4 x 2 min.
    3.  Incubate with 2% H2 O2 at RT for 10 min.
    4.  Rinse with diH2 O.

HYBRIDIZE
    1.  Cover slides with TdT buffer , tap off.
    2.  Add TdT/dUTP solution.
    3.  Incubate in humid chamber at 37o C for 1 hour.

POST HYBRIDIZATION
    1.  Submerge slides in TB buffer at RT for 15 min.
    2.  Rinse in diH2 O.
    3.  Cover slides with 2% BSA at RT for 10 min.
    4.  Rinse in diH2 O.
    5.  Immerse slides in PBS at RT for 5 min.

DETECTION
    1.  Incubate with diluted Extraavidin-peroxidase link for 30 min at 37o C.
    2.  Wash well with a stream of diH2 O.
    3.  Immerse in PBS, blot off.
    4.  Mix AEC substrates and add to slide.
    5.  Develop colour at RT to desired intensity, approximately 3 min.
    6.  Rinse with diH2 O.
    7.  Counterstain with modified Harris' hematoxylin and blue with PBS.

COVERSLIP
    1.  Air dry, then mount with CrystalMount.
    2.  Bake at 65o C for 15 - 45 min.
