GlossaryImmunocytochemistry

technique using antibodies to visualize proteins in cells

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a laboratory technique used to detect specific proteins or antigens in cells by using antibodies that bind to them. These antibodies are often linked to a fluorescent dye or an enzyme, which allows scientists to visualize the location and distribution of the target proteins under a microscope. This method is widely used in research and diagnostics to study cell biology, disease mechanisms, and the effects of treatments.

Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution

research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution

15 citations, July 2004 in “Journal of morphology”

Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
