When developing a cancer therapeutic, understanding how proteins along the targeted metabolic pathway are modulated is essential in understanding the molecule’s mechanism of action. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is essential in determining protein expression and localization in tissues of interest.
IHC is critical in determining protein biomarker detection, localization, and semi-quantitative expression levels. Through multi-panel IHC testing, one can determine the expression of multiple biomarkers in a biopsied sample with a high level of sensitivity and specificity. Biomarkers play an important role in preclinical studies and identifying potential drug targets.
