What are the Common Techniques Utilizing Binding Specificity?
Several histological techniques rely on binding specificity: 1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue sections. 2. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): Employs labeled nucleotide probes to detect specific DNA or RNA sequences. 3. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Combines ISH with fluorescent probes for high-resolution localization. 4. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA): Measures antigen concentrations using antibody binding.
