Setting up appropriate quality control monitoring and detection processes in tumor tissue immunohistochemistry detection can ensure the reliability of the detection and avoid the adverse effects caused by erroneous results.

[0003] Clinically, immunohistochemical detection of tumor tissues often uses negative and positive quality control slices (usually tissue or cell slices) as quality control of the detection process during the detection process to avoid detection errors caused by improper operation during the detection process; at the same time, antibody diluent is used as a negative quality control reagent for detection of the test tissue to monitor whether there is non-specific staining of the sample during the detection process. Although the settings of these quality control slices or quality control reagents provide prompts for some errors in immunohistochemical detection, they cannot cover all possible problems. For example: protein loss caused by pretreatment or improper storage of samples; protein loss, non-specific staining, uneven staining and weakened staining signals caused by improper operation during the staining process.

8. Use of the tumor tissue immunohistochemistry detection quality control reagent according to any one of claims 1 to 6 in antigen expression level detection and / or tissue damage detection.

9. A method for immunohistochemical detection of tumor tissue, characterized in that: The method comprises: fixing, serially dehydrating, transparentizing, embedding, preparing continuous sections, staining, sealing and pathological interpretation of the sample to be tested, selecting at least 3 continuous sections for pathological interpretation, wherein 2 of the sections are stained with the tumor tissue immunohistochemistry detection quality control reagent described in any one of claims 1 to 6 for the sample to be tested, and the remaining sections are stained with the antibody to be tested.

10. The tumor tissue immunohistochemical detection method according to claim 9, characterized in that: The criteria for pathological interpretation are: (1) First, the staining results of the positive quality control reagent and the negative quality control reagent are interpreted.
