• Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used in biology and medicine to visualize the

presence and distribution of specific proteins or antigens within tissue sections. It
involves the use of antibodies that bind to the target proteins, which are then labeled with
a marker, often a colored dye or a fluorescent compound. This allows researchers and
pathologists to study cellular structures, identify biomarkers, and gain insights into
various diseases and biological processes. IHC plays a crucial role in understanding the
molecular and cellular characteristics of tissues, aiding in both research and diagnostic
applications.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC) helps scientists and doctors see specific proteins in tissues.
It's like using markers to highlight certain things under a microscope. This helps us
understand diseases, how cells work, and how treatments might affect them.
• it's a special technique scientists use to find specific proteins in tissues. Imagine it like
using a magnifying glass and colorful markers to highlight particular things in a picture.
This helps researchers understand how cells behave and why diseases happen.
