How is Cellular Localization Studied in Histology?
Several techniques are used to study cellular localization in histology, including:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Utilizes antibodies to detect specific antigens within tissue sections. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): Employs fluorescent probes to bind and visualize specific DNA or RNA sequences. Electron microscopy: Provides high-resolution images to localize cellular structures and molecules. Confocal microscopy: Offers three-dimensional imaging to observe the precise localization of fluorescently labeled molecules.
