Immunofluorescence can be used on tissue sections,
An Immunofluorescence test was suggested, but wasn't setup by my doctor.
Since my doctor never did the Immunofluorescence testing, she couldn't be sure.
As with most fluorescence techniques, a significant problem with Immunofluorescence is photobleaching.
Immunofluorescence is a technique used for light microscopy with a fluorescence microscope
There are two classes of Immunofluorescence techniques, primary(or direct) and secondary or indirect.
These included: a diagnosis of PV confirmed by clinical, histologic and Immunofluorescence criteria;
Immunofluorescence studies: you can attach fluorescent substances
to certain components of the cells and thus verify its existence.
Immunofluorescence is a technique used for light microscopy with a fluorescence microscope
and is used primarily on microbiological samples.
If you suspect that your skin woes may have a dietary cause,
ask for a skin biopsy and direct Immunofluorescence test.
The blood work results didn't show anything definitive, but it did show the possibility of an autoimmune disease,
so the internist suggested an Immunofluorescence test.
It is important to obtain positive direct Immunofluorescence results(biopsies),
even if it requires repeat biopsies because it can mimic other diseases such as lichen planus.
At the same time, during the diagnosis, an intradermal test with toxoplasmine,
an indirect hemagglutination reaction, an Immunofluorescence method
and a neutrophilic leukocyte damage response can be used.
Immunofluorescence can be used on tissue sections,
cultured cell lines, or individual cells, and may be used to analyze the distribution of proteins, glycans, and small biological and non-biological molecules.
The Immunofluorescence pattern is correspondingly different-
you will see just a line at the base of the epidermis(rather than the lace-like outlining of epidermal cells you see in pemphigus vulgaris).
Immunofluorescence can be used as a"semi-quantitative" method
to gain insight into the levels and localization patterns of DNA methylation since it is a more time consuming method than true quantitative methods and there is some subjectivity in the analysis of the levels of methylation.
