    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.
