Immunohistochemistry, often abbreviated as IHC, is a laboratory technique used to detect and locate specific proteins within cells and tissues. It utilizes antibodies that bind to the target protein. These antibodies are then linked to a detectable label, such as an enzyme or a fluorescent dye. When the labeled antibody binds to its target protein in a tissue sample, the label can be visualized, revealing where the protein is present.
The process typically involves preparing a tissue sample, often by fixing it and embedding it in paraffin
IHC is a crucial tool in various fields, particularly in pathology for diagnosing diseases, especially cancer.
