Description
Immunohistochemical staining is a common immunological technique used in the biological sciences for the detection of proteins within the context of the tissue in which the protein is found. It takes its name from the roots immuno, in reference to antibodies used in the procedure, and histo, meaning tissue. Normally referred to as IHC, the term is used almost interchangeably with immunocytochemistry, or ICC. In the procedure depending on the purpose and the thickness of the experiment, either thin (about 20 μm) slices are taken of the tissue of interest or if the tissue is not very thick and penetrable it is used as a whole. The slicing is usually accomplished through the use of a cryostat, and slices are mounted on slides. Free-floating IHC uses slices that are not mounted, normally produced using a vibrating microtome. The protein to be detected or estimated is called the antigen and the protein which is used to detect it, ie. which can bind to the antigen is called the antibody.
