Description: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a branch of Anatomic Pathology that focuses on the identification of solid tumors in all types of body tissues. IHC utilizes antibodies for visualization of the antigens expressed by normal and neoplastic cells to determine the origin and growth rate of metastasizing cancers. This is a two-part presentation.
Start date: Upon registration
Completion: Up to 52 weeks
Part 1 of this lecture will outline each step of the IHC stain procedure and show the microscopic visual outcomes of a variety of IHC techniques.
Part 2 includes discussions about Immunofluorescent (IF) staining, Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) staining, Multiplex IHC staining, Breast Cancer Diagnosis, and In-situ Hybridization (ISH) techniques. Additionally, there will be an introduction to the most recent advances in the field of Digital Pathology which facilitates the distribution of stained images for collaborative diagnosis. It promises to be a dazzling visual display that will capture the interest of technologists and healthcare providers of all disciplines!
