What are the Commonly Used Peptide-Based Agents in Histology?
Some commonly used peptide-based agents in histology include:
- Fluorescently Labeled Peptides: Used for imaging and visualization of specific cellular components. - Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs): Synthetic peptides that can bind to DNA or RNA sequences, used in genetic studies and diagnostics. - Cell-Penetrating Peptides (CPPs): Facilitate the delivery of molecules into cells, useful in both research and therapeutic contexts. - Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs): Target and kill bacteria, used in studying infections and immune responses.
