Immunohistological marker molecules

چکیده
Immunohistology as well as a wide range of other biomolecular techniques depend on the use of labeled antibodies. Labelings such as radiolabels, fluorophores or enzymes may be used as reporters in distinct assay formats. Immunohistology in its proper meaning will depend on procedures which enable the identification and characterization of cellular structure and function in situ. Hence, the respective probe (antibody) must be “labeled” in some way so that the antigen-antibody reaction becomes clearly visible. Marker substances for labeling purposes are for example those which lead to distinct colors (light microscopy) or which lead to defined electron scattering (electron microscopy). Milestones in light microscopy were the introduction of fluorochromes by AH COONS and coworkers (1941) and, in the case of electron microscopy, the conjugation of the metalloprotein ferritin with antibodies by SJ SINGER (1959).

Enzymes as marker molecules
Immunohistological staining procedures with enzymes as markers make use of enzyme substrate reactions which convert colorless chromogens into colored and insoluble end products. Enzyme labels offer the advantage of instant visualization and great sensitivity. Furthermore, enzyme markers may be utilized for both light and electron microscopic studies. Generally, either direct or indirect labelin...
متن کاملReversibility of histological and immunohistological abnormalities in sublabial salivary gland biopsy specimens following treatment with corticosteroids in Sjögren's syndrome.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by specific lesions in exocrine glands, so sublabial minor salivary gland biopsy (SLGB) plays an important part in its diagnosis. The extent and composition of the lymphocytic infiltrate in SLGB specimens can be considered as target organ specific parameters. They are quantified after histological and immunohistological exami...
متن کاملProtein Profiling Gastric Cancer and Neighboring Control Tissues Using High-Content Antibody Microarrays
In this study, protein profiling was performed on gastric cancer tissue samples in order to identify proteins that could be utilized for an effective diagnosis of this highly heterogeneous disease and as targets for therapeutic approaches. To this end, 16 pairs of postoperative gastric adenocarcinomas and adjacent non-cancerous control tissues were analyzed on microarrays that contain 813 antib...
متن کاملA comparative phenotypical analysis of rheumatoid nodules and rheumatoid synovium with special reference to adhesion molecules and activation markers.
OBJECTIVES (1) To analyse the in situ expression of adhesion molecules in rheumatoid nodules. (2) To compare the endothelial expression of adhesion molecules in synovial tissue and subcutaneous nodules obtained from the same patients.

متن کاملDownregulation of CXCR4 in Metastasized Breast Cancer Cells and Implication in Their Dormancy
Our understanding of the mechanism of cancer dormancy is emerging, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we analyzed mouse xenograft tumors derived from human breast cancer tissue and the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 to identify the molecules associated with cancer dormancy. In immunohistological examination using the proliferation marker Ki-67, the tumors inc...
