Study Notes
Immunocytochemistry Basics
- The basic principle of immunocytochemistry is the specific binding of antibodies to antigens in tissue sections, allowing the visualization of specific proteins or other biomolecules.
Immunologic Response
- A specific immunologic response is evoked by the presence of an antigen, which triggers the development of an antibody.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
- IHC makes possible the detection of specific proteins or biomolecules in tissue sections.
Antigen-Antibody Binding
-
The technique to visualize the recognition of antigens present in the tissue is based on the binding of an antibody to a specific epitope site on the antigen.
-
The antigen epitope site and antibody binding site are complementary, enabling specific binding between the two.
