Achieving target specificity involves several strategies:
Antibody Production:Monoclonal antibodies are engineered to bind to specific antigens, ensuring that only target molecules are marked. Probe Design: Molecular probes, such as fluorescent probes, are designed to hybridize with specific DNA or RNA sequences. Staining Techniques: Special stains, like immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH), are used to visualize specific proteins or nucleic acids in tissue sections.
