What Techniques are Used to Study MHC Molecules in Histology?
In histology, several techniques are used to study MHC molecules. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a common method that uses antibodies specific to MHC molecules to visualize their distribution in tissue samples. Flow cytometry is another technique that allows for the quantitative analysis of MHC molecule expression on the cell surface. Additionally, molecular techniques such as PCR and sequencing are employed to analyze MHC gene variants.
