How Does Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Work in Histology?
IHC is a technique used to detect specific antigens in tissue sections by using antibodies that bind to them. These antibodies are usually linked to a detectable marker such as an enzyme or a fluorescent dye. When the antibody binds to its target antigen, the marker can be visualized under a microscope, allowing researchers to see the distribution and localization of specific proteins within the tissue.
