What Techniques are Used to Study Vascular Permeability in Histology?
Several histological techniques are employed to study vascular permeability:
Immunohistochemistry - Detects specific proteins associated with permeability Fluorescent microscopy - Visualizes the passage of labeled molecules through blood vessels Electron microscopy - Provides detailed images of endothelial cell junctions In vivo imaging - Real-time visualization of vascular permeability in living organisms Tracer studies - Use of labeled tracers to measure permeability
