IHC
• “Immuno” – Refers to antibodies

• Albert Coons – First implemented (1941)
• Principle – Binding of specific antibody to the specific
antigen
Definition
•Defined as companied process of anatomical,
immunological and biochemical techniques to
identify the discrete tissue components by
interaction of target antigens with specific
antibodies targeted with a visible label.
Uses
1. Differentiate among histologically similar tumour
2. Confirm the histological impression
3. Support the diagnosis of rare tumour
4. Support the diagnosis of unusual location or age
