Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a widely used immunostaining technique using antibodies to detect an antigen of interest in the cells of a fixed tissue section and provides semi-quantitative data about target protein expression, distribution, and localization.

Our recently updated handbook offers a comprehensive introduction to IHC that is well-suited for researchers new to the technique and experienced scientists looking for a quick refresher.
