What Role Does Immunohistochemistry Play in Diagnosing FTD?
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is crucial for diagnosing FTD as it allows for the visualization of specific proteins within brain tissue. By using antibodies against Tau, TDP-43, or FUS, pathologists can identify the presence and distribution of these abnormal protein aggregates. IHC can also be used to detect gliosis and other pathological changes.
