- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 免疫组织化学 免疫组织化学
背景情况:
- 胰岛素瘤相关蛋白1 (INSM1) 是神经内分泌瘤/癌瘤 (NETs/NECs) 的一个关键免疫组织化学标记物.
- 之前的研究表明,INSM1在CytoLyt固定细胞块和甲素固定组织中表现出类似的染色.
- 本研究研究了这两种固定方法之间的INSM1表达变异性.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较来自NET/NEC病例的CytoLyt固定和甲素固定细胞块中的INSM1免疫活性.
- 为了确定影响固定方法之间INSM1染色的潜在差异的因素.
主要方法:
- 追溯分析了20个NET/NEC病例,其中甲和CytoLyt都固定了细胞块.
- 在两种固定类型中评估INSM1染色 (正,负,模两可).
- 用百分比和强度对模两可的染色进行详细的评分.
主要成果:
- 所有的甲固定细胞块都显示出广泛的INSM1阳性 (>90%).

Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry
11.3K
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
4.0K
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.
