Dermatological Immunohistochemistry

Dermatological immunohistochemistry is a laboratory technique used to study skin tissues. It involves using specific antibodies that bind to proteins in the skin cells to identify and visualize certain features, such as disease markers or immune responses. By applying colored dyes to the antibodies, doctors can see where these proteins are located under a microscope. This helps in diagnosing skin conditions, understanding diseases like psoriasis or skin cancer, and guiding treatment decisions. Essentially, it combines the fields of dermatology and immunology to provide valuable insights into skin health.
