MCQ on Immunofluorescence: Principles and Applications

Immunofluorescence is a laboratory technique that utilizes fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect and visualize specific proteins or antigens within cells or tissues. When exposed to light of a particular wavelength, the labeled antibodies emit fluorescence, enabling precise localization and identification of target molecules in biological samples.
