Determination of post-mortem interval (PMI) via immunohistochemical localization and expression of biogenic amine (cadaverine)

A dearth of knowledge still exists despite extensive research being conducted on a reliable post mortem interval (PMI) indicator. Biogenic amine has never been attempted as an indicator of PMI and is evaluated in this study based on immunologically expressed cadaverine. Samples of the brain, l...

Samples of the brain, liver, muscle and testis obtained from three dogs at 0, 12th, 18th, and 24th hour post-euthanasia were immediately fixed in 10% formalin and routinely processed for histology (Haematoxylin and Eosin) and cadaverine immunohistochemistry (IHC).
