Histological studies of MASPs involve several techniques:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies specific to MASPs to detect their presence in tissue sections. IHC can provide information on the localization and relative abundance of MASPs. Western Blotting: Used to detect and quantify MASPs in tissue extracts. It helps in understanding the expression levels of MASPs in different conditions. ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used to measure the concentration of MASPs in biological fluids, providing insights into their systemic levels.
