What are the Advantages of Using Fluorescent Antibodies?

There are several advantages to using fluorescent antibodies in histology:
- Specificity: Fluorescent antibodies provide high specificity for detecting target antigens.
- Sensitivity: The fluorescence signal can be highly sensitive, allowing for the detection of low-abundance targets.
- Multicolor Labeling: Multiple fluorescent dyes can be used simultaneously to label different antigens, enabling the study of multiple targets in a single sample.
- Live Cell Imaging: Fluorescent antibodies can be used to visualize dynamic processes in live cells in real-time.
