Summary We performed an immunohistochemical study with 11 antikeratin antibodies using the newly developed AMeX (acetone‐methylbenzoate‐xylene) tissue processing method. Specimens processed with this method showed almost as good preservation and morphological detail as routinely processed, formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded tissue specimens, and as good preservation of antigenicity as fresh frozen tissue specimens. Thus, we propose the wide use of this method in dermatology.
