What are the Advantages of Multiplex Immunohistochemistry?
There are several advantages to using mIHC over traditional methods:
Comprehensive Analysis: mIHC allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple markers, providing a more detailed understanding of the tissue's cellular makeup and interactions. Time and Cost Efficiency: By analyzing multiple markers in a single tissue section, mIHC reduces the need for multiple staining procedures, saving both time and resources. Spatial Context: mIHC preserves the spatial relationships between different cell types and markers, which is crucial for understanding the tissue architecture and microenvironment. Enhanced Sensitivity: The use of different fluorophores or chromogens can enhance the sensitivity and specificity of antigen detection.
