What are the Challenges and Limitations of IHC Markers?
While IHC markers are invaluable in histology, they come with certain challenges and limitations:
- Antibody Quality: The variability in antibody quality can affect the reliability of results. - Tissue Preservation: Poorly preserved tissues may lead to suboptimal staining and misinterpretation. - Subjectivity: Interpretation of IHC results can be subjective and dependent on the observer's experience. - Standardization: Lack of standardization in protocols can lead to inconsistent results across different laboratories.
