Immunohistochemistry (Immunohistochemistry) is also known as immunocytochemistry. It is a branch of histochemistry, and is a tissue and cell in situ detection technique for the distribution of antigen (or antibody) in tissue by using a labeled specific antibody (or antigen). As a mature, reliable, economical and widely applied technical means, the method is widely applied to clinical pathological diagnosis and scientific research at present, and has irreplaceable effects on judgment of tumor tissue sources, evaluation of tumor risks, selection of treatment methods and observation of tissue and cell antibody (or antigen) expression levels and distribution ranges in various experiments.
In the traditional immunohistochemistry, only one antibody (or antigen) can be marked at one time, and the existing interpretation of the immunohistochemistry is artificial semi-quantitative interpretation, the interpretation result is often strong in randomness, large in man-made interference and poor in objectivity, and considerable difficulty and great errors are brought to the marking and expression comparison of different antibodies (or antigens) in the same cell or the same region and the research of the correlation among the antibodies (or antigens). Comparing the expression of different antibody (or antigen) markers in the same site or in the same cell is very necessary and necessary in clinical and pathological diagnosis and many scientific experimental scenes, so how to perform multiple markers of antibodies (or antigens) and perform reliable quantitative analysis becomes a hot spot in current research.
The double-label immunohistochemistry is a better mode applied at present, has the capability of simultaneously marking two antibodies (or antigens), and is based on an intuitive multicolor positioning dyeing method established according to the difference of a positive expression part and a positive expression area. The labeling objects are two cell parts, including three combinations of membrane + plasma type, membrane + karyotype and plasma + karyotype, but the method has obvious limitation, firstly, the method cannot be used for labeling the membrane + membrane type, the nuclear + karyotype and the plasma + karyotype antibodies (or antigens), and the effect and the color overlap are influenced; secondly, the basic principle of immunohistochemistry is that antigen-antibody combination, and the simultaneous labeling of two antibodies (or antigens) is easy to generate cross reaction, which may cause false positive or false negative, which affects the dyeing effect and accuracy, and is also the reason that the method is mainly used for scientific research and is not widely applied in clinical pathological diagnosis for a while; finally, the method can only label two antibodies (or antigens) at the same time, cannot label a plurality of antibodies (or antigens) at the same time, and does not fundamentally solve the problem of immunohistochemical objective interpretation.
