Report Overview

Immunohistochemistry is a vital laboratory technique that combines histological, immunological, and biochemical methods to detect specific antigens in tissue sections. By utilizing antibodies that bind to these antigens and tagging them with enzymes or fluorescent dyes, IHC enables the visualization and localization of proteins within tissues. This technique plays a critical role in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, where specific protein markers help determine the type, grade, and prognosis of tumours. Widely used in medical diagnostics and research, IHC provides detailed insights into cellular processes and disease states, making it an essential tool for both clinicians and researchers in pathology and molecular biology.
