Overview
Course Description
The module "Immunohistochemical Staining - Faults and Remedies" provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of immunohistochemical staining (IHC). The technique involves utilizing specific antibodies to locate antigens within tissues, followed by visualization using diverse detection systems. IHC finds wide applications, including research, diagnostics, prognosis, and therapeutics.
While IHC offers valuable insights, it is a complex assay influenced by various factors. Hence, the course emphasizes the importance of optimal conditions for accurate staining results. The module is structured into three phases:
1. Pre-analytical Phase: This phase focuses on sample preparation and handling before staining, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
2. Analytical Phase: Participants gain a thorough understanding of the staining process itself, including techniques and reagents, which is crucial for achieving consistent outcomes.
3. Post-analytical Phase: The course covers result interpretation and reporting, enabling participants to extract clinically relevant information from stained tissues.
In essence, "Immunohistochemical Staining - Faults and Remedies" equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct effective IHC. By mastering the intricacies of IHC and excelling in each phase of the process, participants are empowered to offer significant contributions to the field of pathology and related disciplines.
What you will learn
Upon completing this module, participants will:
1. Understand the fundamental principles of IHC staining.
2. Outline the key steps involved in the IHC staining procedure.
3. Identify and address faults that may occur during IHC staining.
