The ability to simultaneously detect multiple markers in a single tissue section offers several advantages:
Comprehensive Analysis: mIHC enables a more detailed and comprehensive analysis of tissue samples compared to traditional single-marker immunohistochemistry. Spatial Context: The technique preserves the spatial context, allowing researchers to study the localization and interaction of different cell types within the tissue architecture. Cost-Effective: By reducing the number of tissue sections and reagents needed, mIHC can be more cost-effective and time-efficient. Enhanced Sensitivity: The use of multiple markers can enhance the sensitivity and specificity of detection, leading to more accurate results.
