| The Immunohistochemistry Laboratory, co-directed by Drs. Tamera Lillemoe and
Stanley McCormick, provides immunohistochemical
staining of slide-based tissue specimens. In addition |
to our work for the Allina Health System, we
serve as a reference laboratory for clinical
outreach work and as a resource for clinical
research projects.Immunohistochemical methods are

malignant tumors may also be obtained by

A variety of samples are appropriate such as,
paraffin-embedded tissue, snap frozen, |

clinical testing Monday through Friday, and results are reported within 24 to 48 hours. |
