What Techniques Are Used to Study PSEN2 in Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study the expression and effects of the PSEN2 gene in tissues:
1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies specific to the PSEN2 protein to detect its presence and distribution in tissue samples. IHC can help visualize the localization of PSEN2 in different cellular compartments. 2. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): ISH can be used to detect PSEN2 mRNA within tissue sections, providing insights into the gene's expression patterns. 3. Western Blotting: Although not a histological technique per se, western blotting can be used on tissue extracts to quantify the levels of PSEN2 protein.
