Pathology slides and immunohistochemistry (IHC)
staining are cornerstones in the field of
diagnostic pathology. These techniques provide
critical insights into disease processes,
enabling accurate diagnoses and informing
treatment decisions. Pathology Slides Pathology
slides are essential tools used to examine tissue
samples at a microscopic level. The process
begins with the collection of tissue, often
through biopsy or surgical excision. The tissue
is then processed, embedded in paraffin, and
thinly sliced. These slices, mounted on glass
slides, allow pathologists to observe cellular
details that are crucial for identifying
abnormalities and diagnosing diseases.

IHC Staining IHC staining is a powerful
technique that enhances the diagnostic value of
pathology slides. It involves the use of specific
antibodies to detect antigens within the tissue
sections. The procedure begins with the
preparation of the slides, which includes
deparaffinization, rehydration, and antigen
retrieval. Primary antibodies are applied to the
tissue sections, targeting specific proteins
associated with diseases. These antibodies bind
to the target antigens, and secondary antibodies,
conjugated with enzymes or fluorophores, are then
used to visualize the binding.

The result is a stained slide that highlights the
presence and distribution of specific antigens.
This staining provides crucial information about
the molecular characteristics of the tissue,
aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as
cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infectious
diseases.

Pathology slides and IHC staining are
indispensable in modern diagnostics. By combining
detailed tissue observation with molecular
specificity, these techniques enable pathologists
to make accurate diagnoses and guide treatment
decisions. As technology advances, these methods
continue to evolve, offering even greater
precision and contributing to improved patient
outcomes.
