Immunohistochemistry:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to examine body components like tissues and proteins under a microscope. It visualizes and identifies antibody-antigen interaction in cells. It is widely used in the diagnosis of peculiar cells such as those found in tumors. It also reveals the difference between types of cancer and helps in personalized drug selection.
