title: Immunocytochemical detection.
abstract: This unit provides detailed descriptions for direct and indirect in situ hybridization methods. Protocols are designed for bright-field microscopy using a precipitating chromogenic substrate and for immunofluorescence detection using a hapten-labeled probe. Several alternative procedures are provided together with an excellent discussion of the strategy used for selecting a detection method.
