    Localization of gut peptide hormones by immunological staining methods is known generally as "immunocytochemistry". These immunostaining techniques depend upon the correct processing of the tissue under study and careful characterization of the antisera used. Many years of research in our laboratory have enabled us to present here our approach to the application and pitfalls of immunocytochemistry in the study of gut neuroendocrinology.

    Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry

    Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are techniques that use antibodies to check for specific proteins or antigens in a sample. The technique was first published by Albert Coons in 1941 to detect the presence of pneumococcal antigen in tissue sections from mice infected with Pneumococcus. Immunocytochemistry helps localization of proteins or antigens in individual cells like blood cells, stem cells, etc., while immunohistochemistry does the same for tissue samples.

    Immunogold Electron Microscopy

    Immunoelectron microscopy utilizes immunogold labeling of endogenous proteins with specific antibodies to detect and localize these proteins in cells and tissues. The procedure provides insights into the distribution and quantification of protein under different stimulation conditions offering clues about their functions. Conjugating highly electron-dense gold particles with primary or secondary antibodies allow antigen detection on and within cells, with high resolution and specificity.
