What are the Applications of Polyacrylamide Gel in Histology?
Polyacrylamide gel has several applications in histology: 1. Protein Analysis: It is widely used in techniques like SDS-PAGE to analyze protein composition and purity. 2. DNA and RNA Analysis: Techniques such as PAGE are essential for separating nucleic acids, which is critical for genetic studies and diagnostics. 3. Immunohistochemistry: Gels can be used to isolate and study specific proteins, which are then used in immunohistochemical staining to visualize protein distribution in tissue samples.
