Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections. It helps identify the distribution and abundance of proteins within cells and tissues. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): ISH is used to detect specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections. It is essential for studying gene expression patterns and identifying specific RNA or DNA sequences. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): FISH uses fluorescent probes to detect specific DNA or RNA sequences. This technique is particularly useful for identifying genetic abnormalities and chromosomal rearrangements. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences, making it easier to study genes and diagnose genetic conditions. While not a direct histology technique, it is often used in conjunction with tissue samples.
