specific enolase and immunohistochemistry

Hello everybody.
I was interested in checking the pressence of granulocytes in my tissue, related to MMP-9 expression. As a fast assay I was suggested to stain using chloroacetate specific enolase, that should be specific for granulocytes and mast cells,, but not monocytes/macrophages. However I have found a high degree of granulocyte infiltration and that _all_ my positive MMP-9 cells are positive for esterase. Does anybody know if there is any incompatibility of doing immunohistochemistry (peroxidase-DAB precipitation system) followed by chloroacetate esterase staining? Thank you for the answer, anyway.
