Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Record Type:Technique
Validation:GLP,Non-GLP
Models:Mouse,Rat,Rabbit,Canine,Mini-pig,NHP,Human
Disease:Oncology
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique that utilizes antibodies that specifically recognize and bind different antigens in cells or tissue samples. The technique uses antibodies that are either conjugated to enzymes or a fluorescent dye to allow visualization of the distribution and localization of specific cellular components under a microscope.
The table below lists some examples of the cells which can be determined through CD markers via IHC across our facilities worldwide.
