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.
