Reactivation is studied using a variety of histological techniques, including:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins that may indicate reactivation in tissue samples. In situ hybridization (ISH): This method allows for the detection of specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections, providing insights into gene expression changes during reactivation. Live-cell imaging: Advanced microscopy techniques enable researchers to observe reactivation processes in real-time.
