Immunohistochemistry

      In Immunohistochemistry (IHC), antibody can bind specifically to its antigen in biological tissues. IHC is a powerful tool to study the expression, localization, and distribution of a specific protein in the cells of a tissue section. Since the specific expression of some proteins is the characteristic of a particular disease or cellular event, IHC staining has been widely used in both clinical diagnosis and basic researches, such as in pathway studies and biomarker development. However some of the procedures in IHC staining such as sample preparation and antigen retrieval could be very challenging and often need to be optimized. While in partnership with a third party company, we have validated a list of antibodies of some common targets for IHC staining. Our experienced histologists can also help to work up any antibody of your choice, and provide you the final IHC results.
