Antibody staining techniques

Antibody staining techniques are methods used in laboratories to detect specific molecules, such as proteins, within cells or tissue samples. They use antibodies—specialized proteins engineered to recognize and bind to a particular target. These antibodies are linked to a marker, like a dye or a fluorescent tag, which makes the target visible under a microscope. By applying these labeled antibodies to the sample, scientists can identify and locate specific molecules, helping to understand cellular functions, diagnose diseases, or study biological processes with high precision.
