What are the Applications of Fluorescent Labeling?
Fluorescent labeling has a wide range of applications in histology, including:
Immunofluorescence: Used to detect specific proteins or antigens in tissues using antibodies conjugated with fluorophores. In situ hybridization: Allows for the detection of specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections using fluorescently labeled probes. Cell tracking: Helps in monitoring the movement and behavior of cells in live tissues. Pathology: Used for diagnostic purposes, such as identifying cancerous cells or detecting infectious agents.
