Steve,
Try:
J Histochem Cytochem 1993 May;41(5):765-8
Rapid preparation of tissue DNA from paraffin-embedded blocks and analysis
by polymerase chain reaction.
J Virol Methods 1991 Nov;35(1):39-47
A simple method for isolation of DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded
samples for PCR.
Diagn Mol Pathol 1999 Sep;8(3):145-51
Detection of mycobacterial nucleic acids by polymerase chain reaction in
fixed tissue specimens of patients with human immunodeficiency virus
infection. Swiss HIV Cohort Study.
Hope this helps...
