Immunocytochemistry can pinpoint the subcellular localisation of a protein antigen or follow its changing cellular address as cells respond to stimuli.


In situ hybridisation

In situ hybridisation has become a powerful and versatile tool for the detection and localisation of nucleic acid sequences within cell or tissue preparations. The technique is capable of giving a high degree of spatial information to locate specific DNA or RNA sequences either within individual cells or chromosomes or to a small sub-population of cells within a tissue sample.
In situ hybridisation may be used to:staff using equipment
