Description:
Immunofluorescence is a method of slide staining allowing for specific imaging of components of the tumor microenvironment. It works by pairing a secondary antibody that is linked to a fluorophore with primary antibody which binds to a target proteins. Since the fluorophores re-emit light under specific wavelengths and various antibodies can be used to tag different biomarkers, immunofluorescence makes it possible for creation of multi-layered images.
