Title: Principle of Immunohistochemistry


1
Principle of Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemical staining
  • light microscope
  • Imaged by color development
  • Cryosection or paraffin-embedded section
  • Immunofluorescent staining
  • immunofluorescent microscope
  • Imaged by flourochrome excitation
  • Cryosection or cultured cells

Specificity control for IHCControls for the
specificity of an antibody are most important for
the correct interpretation of its localization in
cells and tissues
  • Absorption control
  • antibody mixed with the protein or peptide used
    to generate the antibody, with the objective of
    eliminating the binding of the antibody to the
    protein in the tissue
  • Drawback determines only the specificity of
    the antibody for the incubating protein or
    peptide and does not prove the specificity of the
    antibody for the protein in the tissue

6
Specificity control for IHCControls for the
specificity of an antibody are most important for
the correct interpretation of its localization in
cells and tissues
  • Specificity of the antibody
  • 1. determined by showing specific reaction with
    the peptide or protein used for immunization with
    highly sensitive methods other than IHC
  • ? immunoblot
  • ?immunoprecipitation
  • 2. details of antibody generation
  • sequence of amino acids used, species from
    which the immunogen obtained, isotype of
    immunoglobulin generated

7
Specificity control for IHCControls for the
specificity of an antibody are most important for
the correct interpretation of its localization in
cells and tissues
  • Specificity of the IHC method
  • 1. labeling is specifically due to the primary
    antibody
  • ? normal serum control
  • ? a known unreactive antibody control
  • ? nonspecific binding control
  • 2. confirmation of Ab specificity with tissues
    (cells) containing the protein of interest

  • Definition predominantly (originally) defined as
    a high-temperature heating method to recover the
    antigenicity of tissue section that had been
    masked by formalin fixation
  • Purpose amplification in pre-detection phase by
    reduction of the detection thresholds of
    immunostaining (increasing sensitivity) and
    retrieval of some antigens

10
  • Mechanism of action
  • 1. release calcium from the cage-like calcium
    complex formation with proteins in formalin-fixed
    tissue
  • 2. lossening of breaking of the crosslinkage
    induced by formalin fixation

11
  • Application
  • paraffin-embedded section, plastic embedded
    tissues, celloidin-embedded tissues, non-embedded
    tissue slices, cell smear preparations, ISH,
    Tunnel, FISH
  • Caution
  • 1. not all antigen modified by formalin can be
    restroed using conventional AR protocols
  • 2. high temperature may induce a negative result
    of IHC staining
  • 3. pH value of the AR solution

Light Microscope 1. Bright-field
microscope 2. Dark-field microscope It is
different form the bright field one in the
condenser lens function and is useful for viewing
particles far below the limits of bright light
resolution by darkening the background. 3. Phase
contrast microscope With a specifically
designed condenser lens, it can be used to
examine living cells and unstained tissue by
utilizing differences in the diffraction index
of cell or tissue component. 4. Differential
interference microscope Using Normaski
optics, it is useful for surface examination of
the object. 5. Fluorescence microscope It
is equipped with an ultraviolet light source to
detect tissue autofluorescence or
fluorescence-labeled components of the tissue. 6.
Confocal scanning microscope It is designed
to combine light microscope components, fitted
with fluorescence equipment and a scanning
system, with a computer system to image the
specimen in very thin optical sections by
subtracting out-of-focus regions, and even create
an 3-D image through stacking a series of images
at varying depths. 7. Ultraviolet microscope
With UV light source, images are viewed through
photographic records rather than an ocular. 8.
Polarizing microscope It is useful for
detecting crystalline substances and well-ordered
fibrous molecules due to the result of
birefringence.
