How are Aβ Peptides Detected in Histological Studies?
In histology, Aβ peptides are commonly detected using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Specific antibodies that bind to Aβ peptides are used to stain brain tissue sections. Other techniques include Congo red staining and Thioflavin S staining, which bind to amyloid fibrils and can be visualized under a microscope.
