Several techniques are employed to study the cell-specific manner in histology:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in cells, allowing for the visualization of protein expression patterns. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): ISH is used to localize specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections, providing information on gene expression. Fluorescence Microscopy: This method employs fluorescent dyes to stain specific cellular components, enabling the observation of cell-specific structures and functions. Flow Cytometry: Flow cytometry allows for the analysis of physical and chemical characteristics of cells, identifying different cell types based on specific markers.
