A formalin-calcium fixation method of preparing cryosections is described, which allows demonstration of Langerhans' cells by S100 antigen staining on frozen sections. The number of Langerhans' cells given by T6 antigen staining is also higher in formalin-calcium fixed frozen sections than acetone fixed frozen sections. The preparation is suitable for dual demonstration of the two antigens on the same section enabling a more accurate numerical evaluation of Langerhans' cell populations in the normal cervical epithelium.
