1. immunohistochemistry

   Immunohistochemistry is a laboratory method used to visually detect specific antigens (proteins) in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues. It involves the process of selectively identifying antigens (proteins) in cells of a tissue section by using a specific immune reaction mediated by antibodies that are linked to a visible label to detect them. It is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors. It's also used in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue.

1. Immunohistochemistry

   Immunohistochemistry or IHC refers to the process of detecting antigens in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues. IHC takes its name from the roots "immuno," in reference to antibodies used in the procedure, and "histo," meaning tissue. Immunohistochemical staining is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors. A video showing preparation for immunohistochemistry and then 20 minutes scanning through immunohistochemically stained tissues near colon cancers, shows different degrees of deficiency in three DNA repair proteins and one mitochondrial protein. Specific molecular markers are characteristic of particular cellular events such as proliferation or cell death. IHC is also widely used in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue. Visualising an antibody-antigen interaction can be accomplished in a number of ways. In the most common instance, an antibody is conjugated to an enzyme, such as peroxidase, that can catalyse a colour-producing reaction. Alternatively, the antibody can also be tagged to a fluorophore, such as fluorescein or rhodamine.
