Compositions and methods for preparing a sample for immunological staining are provided. Compositions include kits comprising a first solution comprising a surfactant and a second solution comprising a chaotropic agent. Methods comprise contacting a sample, such as cells or tissues, with a first solution comprising a surfactant and then contacting the sample with a second solution comprising a chaotropic agent. The method does not require extreme heat for antigen retrieval and therefore, maintains the cellular morphology of the sample.
