Study Notes
Immunostaining Application
- Diagnosing diseases by identifying specific proteins or antigens in tissue samples
Direct vs Indirect IHC
- Direct IHC: Uses a primary antibody directly conjugated to an enzyme or fluorescent tag.
- Indirect IHC: Uses a primary antibody followed by a secondary antibody that is conjugated to an enzyme or fluorescent tag.
Protein Synthesized Inside Cells
- Intracellular proteins are the proteins synthesized inside the cell and are the primary subject of investigation in immunohistochemistry.
Microscope Type
- Fluorescence microscope is used to observe tissue sections in Immunofluorescence.
Visualization with IHC
- IHC (Immunohistochemistry) allows for the visualization of the distribution and localization of specific proteins or antigens within cells and tissues.
