IHC

What is Immunohistochemistry? Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence and localization of specific proteins in tissue samples. It involves the use of antibodies to bind to and detect proteins of interest. IHC is widely used in medical diagnosis and research, and is a powerful tool for understanding the roles of proteins in biological processes. How Does Immunohistochemistry Work? In IHC, tissue samples are treated with antibodies that have been raised against the protein of interest. The antibodies bind to the protein, and can then be detected using a variety of methods, such as fluorescent or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The presence and localization of the protein can then be determined. How to choose Antibodies for Immunohistochemistry? When choosing antibodies for IHC, it is important to select antibodies with high affinity for the target protein. ProteoGenix offers a wide range of high-affinity antibodies for IHC applications. They can be used to detect a variety of proteins, including hormones, cytokines, and growth factors.
