What are the Histological Techniques Used to Study IL-4?
Several histological techniques are employed to study IL-4 and its effects. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is one of the primary methods used to detect IL-4 and its receptors in tissue samples. This technique involves the use of antibodies that specifically bind to IL-4, allowing its localization to be visualized under a microscope. In situ hybridization (ISH) can also be used to detect IL-4 mRNA, providing information on the gene expression patterns.
