What is the significance of multiplex immunohistochemistry?
Multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers within a single tissue section. This is achieved through the use of different fluorophores or chromogens, each binding to a specific antigen. Multiplex IHC provides a more comprehensive understanding of tissue microenvironments and is invaluable in research areas such as cancer immunology and neurobiology. It enables the study of complex cellular interactions and pathways within tissues.
