I'm curious about the processes that occur during immunohistochemistry, specifically what happens in IHC that allows for the detection and localization of antigens in tissue samples.

This method involves the introduction of proteins specifically designed to bind to the target protein of interest.

Once these binding proteins are attached, colored proteins are subsequently added to the mixture.

The color serves as an indicator, making it easier to detect the presence of the target protein.

When the target protein is present in the cells, the attached colored proteins will be visible under a microscope.
