In histology, receptor-ligand interactions are studied using various techniques:
1. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections. 2. In situ hybridization: This method detects specific nucleic acid sequences within tissues. 3. Fluorescence microscopy: This allows for the visualization of receptor-ligand interactions in real-time. 4. Electron microscopy: Provides detailed images of the cellular structures involved in these interactions.
