What Techniques Are Used to Study Impaired Protein Synthesis in Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study impaired protein synthesis in histological samples:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins, indicating their presence or absence. In situ hybridization: Used to detect specific mRNA sequences within tissue sections, providing insights into transcriptional activity. Electron microscopy: Offers detailed images of cellular ultrastructure, revealing changes in ribosomes and other organelles involved in protein synthesis.
