What are the Applications of Histology in Immunotherapy?
Histology is instrumental in evaluating the effectiveness of immunotherapies, which are treatments designed to boost or modulate the immune response. By examining tissue samples before and after treatment, researchers can assess changes in immune cell populations, the extent of immune infiltration, and the presence of therapeutic targets. Immunohistochemical markers, such as PD-1 and PD-L1, are often used to evaluate responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
