What Role Does Histology Play in Understanding Immune Evasion?
Histology provides critical insights into immune evasion by allowing the detailed examination of tissue samples:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique helps in visualizing the presence and distribution of specific proteins related to immune evasion in tissue sections. Fluorescence Microscopy: It allows for the detection of multiple markers simultaneously, giving a more comprehensive view of the immune landscape in tissues. Histopathological Analysis: Examining the structural changes in tissues can indicate the presence of pathogens or cancer cells and their impact on the immune system. Electron Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of cellular structures, helping to identify intracellular pathogens or changes in cancer cells.
