The present invention lies in the field of visualization and quantification of immobilized targets in samples using immunochemical means. The methods of the invention utilize an immunostaining system allowing visualizing single target units in samples as distinct dots. In particular, the invention relates to methods and reagents for visualization and quantification of molecular targets immunostained in histological samples and use of said method and reagents in medical diagnostic. However, the visualization and quantification methods of the invention are applicable to a variety of targets in different samples and allow precise quantifying both relative and absolute amounts thereof.
本发明属于利用免疫
化学方法对样品中的固定靶标进行可视化和量化的领域。本发明的方法利用一种免疫染色系统,可将样品中的单个目标单位可视化为不同的点。特别是,本发明涉及对组织学样本中免疫染色的分子靶标进行可视化和定量的方法和试剂,以及上述方法和试剂在医学诊断中的应用。不过,本发明的可视化和定量方法适用于不同样本中的各种靶标,并可精确定量其相对量和绝对量。
