Immunohistochemistry – what’s good about it?Immunohistochemistry – what’s good about it?
Antibodies bind to antigen in specific manner
Gives you a spatial location Can be used to locate particular
cells and proteins Can be used to identify cellular
events – e.g.apoptosis

Introduction
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) combines histological, immunological and biochemical techniques for the identification of specific tissue components by means of a specific antigen/antibody reaction tagged with a visible label. IHC makes it possible to visualize the distribution and localization of specific cellular components within a cell or tissue.

History
The principle has existed since the 1930s. Started in 1941 when Coons identified
pneumococci using a direct fluorescent method.
Indirect method Addition of horseradish peroxidase Peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique in 1979 Use of Avidin & Biotin complex in early 1980’s

Examine cytoskeletal structure
![Page 13: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Important considerations for IHC Antibody selection Fixation Sectioning Antigen Retrieval Blocking
Controls Direct method Indirect method Immunoenzyme Fluorescence Multiple labeling
You actually need to care about all this now because it may affect how you harvest your samples !
![Page 14: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Options for antibodies that will affect your results Monoclonal v. Polyclonal Raised against whole molecule, N-
terminus, C-terminus, specific amino acids
Ascites, supernatant, serum
![Page 15: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
General antibody structure
![Page 16: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Monoclonal v. polyclonal
Monoclonal Mouse or rabbit
hybridoma Tends to be
‘cleaner’ Very consistent
batch-to-batch More likely to get
false negative results
Polyclonal Many different species Tends to have more
non-specific reactivity Can have very
different avidity/affinity batch-to-batch
More likely to have success in an unknown application
![Page 17: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Make sure your antibody is validated for your application!!!
IF v. IHC with fluorescence WB, ELISA, IP, etc.
![Page 18: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Whole molecule or specific portion of epitope? Very dependent on individual assay
![Page 19: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ascites, supernatant, serum? Differences in affinity/avidity
Ascites – highest affinity Supernatant next Serum lowest Depends on concentration!
![Page 20: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fixation
Aldehyde 10% NBF 4% formaldehyde with
PBS buffer 2% formaldehyde with
picric acid and PBS The paraformaldehyde
paradox Immersion v.
transcardial perfusion 24-72 hours Many others Best for good
architecture
Frozen LN2 With or without
sucrose OCT Fix with acetone or
methanol (fix by coagulation, also permeabilizes)
Best for cell membrane antigens, cytokines
![Page 21: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Plasma urokinase inhibitor – 48 hours fixation v. 7 days fixation
![Page 22: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sectioning
Paraffin Must heat and
process through xylenes and alcohols – ruins some antigens
Most commonly used BEST if not stored
more than two weeks – lose antigenicity after that time
Frozen Better survival of
many antigens Poor morphology Poor resolution at
higher mag Special storage Cutting difficulty
![Page 23: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Antigen retrieval
HIER Use
MW/steamer/pressure cooker ~ 20 minutes, slow cool
Citrate 6.0 Tris-EDTA 9.0 EDTA 8.0 Must determine for
each new antibody/antigen target
PIER Proteinase K Trypsin Pepsin Pronase,etc. Destroys some
epitopes Bad for morphology
![Page 24: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Improving antibody penetration Need this for intracellular (cytoplasmic, nuclear)
or membrane components when epitope is inside cell membrane
Detergents most popular Triton-X Tween Also decreases surface tension – better coverage
Can’t use for membrane proteins Acetone/Methanol
Precipitate proteins outside cell membranes- more accessible
Saponin Punches holes in cell membrane – holes close up
when removed
![Page 25: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Blocking
Background staining Specific
Polyclonal antibodies – impure antigen used Inadequate fixation – diffusion of antigen –
often worse in center of large block Non-specific
Non-immunologic binding – usually uniform Endogenous peroxidases Endogenous biotin
![Page 26: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Non-specific staining
Before block After block
![Page 27: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Controls
Positive control Best is tissue with known specificity
Negative control Best is IgG from same species
immunized against non-biologic molecule – e.g. BRDU when no BRDU is present in tissue
Can also use non-immunized serum from same species
![Page 28: Immunohistochemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e9297b4c90573338b4ec5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Summary
IHC = immunology +histology + chemistry
Has strengths and weaknesses Think about your planned assay before
acquiring tissue Good block, appropriately fixed and
sectioned can give you great data Bad block, inappropriately fixed and
sectioned, can give you misleading data and waste money
