Immunohistochemical staining methods are so widely used today that they can be truly referred to as just another special stain. These techniques are used to recognize, classify and understand the pathogenesis of a variety of skin processes, ranging from the identification of poorly differentiated tumours to the classification of autoimmune diseases. It is the purpose of this review article to provide an understanding of these immunoenzyme techniques.
