How is Macrophage Infiltration Detected in Histology?
Macrophage infiltration can be detected using various histological techniques:
Staining: Specific stains such as CD68 can be used to identify macrophages in tissue samples. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens, allowing for the identification of macrophages based on their surface markers. Flow Cytometry: Although not a traditional histological method, flow cytometry can be used to analyze macrophage populations in tissue samples.
