Histochemistry deals with the activities of chemical components in cells, and immunohistochemistry addresses the function of cell types in tissue or organs, such as those leading to acceptance or rejection of grafts or organs. This book aims to be a methods volume focusing on antigen retrieval, particularly methods used in disease-related antigens. Because the book is a methods volume and a laboratory manual, it should have an audience of pathologists, biochemists, and lab technicians.
