Immuno-Histo-Chemistry

This is one of our major processes at LABNETWORK. Immunohistochemistry (IHC‎) refers to the process of selectively imaging ‎antigens(e.g. proteins) in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.

Immunohistochemical staining is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumours. Specific molecular markers are characteristic of particular cellular events such as proliferation or cell death (apoptosis). Immunohistochemistry is also widely used in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue.

Cytology – Bodily fluids and tissues are examined at the cellular level in order to screen for and diagnose disease and help aid treatment decisions. A cytologist will examine how cells look, form and function.
