How is Transferrin Detected in Histological Samples?
Transferrin can be detected in histological samples using various techniques, the most common being immunohistochemistry (IHC). In IHC, antibodies specific to transferrin are applied to tissue sections, where they bind to the protein. A secondary antibody, conjugated to a detectable marker like an enzyme or fluorescent molecule, is then added. This method allows for the visualization of transferrin within tissues under a microscope.
