What Role Do Reagents and Antibodies Play in Histology?
Reagents and antibodies are crucial for various histological techniques including immunohistochemistry (IHC). These substances help in:
- Staining Specific Structures: Reagents and antibodies bind to specific antigens in the tissue, making it easier to identify and study different cellular structures. - Diagnostic Accuracy: High-quality reagents and antibodies improve the accuracy of diagnostic tests, which is essential for identifying diseases like cancer.
