Immunofluorescence/IF
The most basic reaction in immunology is the antigen-antibody reaction. Because this reaction is extremely specific, once the antigen and antibody interact, if we know one of the factors, we can infer the other. Immunofluorescence is a method that can show specific fluorescence reaction under fluorescence microscope. Specifically, we label the fluorescent pigment on the antibody (or antigen), and then bind to the corresponding antigen (or antibody). By observing the fluorescence microscope, we can clearly see a specific fluorescence reaction, and this process will not affect the activity of antigen and antibody. This technology is characterized by its reliability and accuracy, so that immunological research can be carried out more deeply and accurately.
Technical principle
The antigen-antibody reaction is a key fundamental process in immunology. This reaction is highly specific, so as long as one of the factors is known, the other can be inferred. Immunofluorescence technology is a method that uses fluorescent pigments to label antibodies (or antigens) to achieve specific fluorescence reactions. Such labeling does not affect the activity of the antigen antibody. When a fluorescently labeled antibody (or antigen) binds to its corresponding antigen (or antibody), it presents a unique fluorescence reaction under a fluorescence microscope. With this technique, we are able to accurately detect and observe the occurrence of antigen-antibody reactions in cells and tissues.
