How is Interferon Gamma detected in tissue samples?
Interferon gamma can be detected in tissue samples using various techniques:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Utilizes antibodies specific to IFN-γ to visualize its presence in tissue sections. - Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA): Measures the levels of IFN-γ in tissue homogenates or cell culture supernatants. - Flow Cytometry: Allows for the quantification and characterization of IFN-γ-producing cells within a tissue.
