What Histological Techniques are Used to Study IGFs?
Several histological techniques are employed to study IGFs and their receptors. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a widely used method to localize IGFs in tissue sections by using specific antibodies. In situ hybridization (ISH) can be used to detect IGF mRNA expression in tissues. Additionally, Western blotting and ELISA are biochemical techniques often used in conjunction with histological methods to quantify IGF levels and activity.
