Immunocytochemical techniques take advantage of the specific affinity of antibodies for
A) dopamine receptors.
B) glial cell nuclei.
C) cytogens.
D) a peptide or protein molecule.
E) white blood cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunocytochemical techniques involve the use of antibodies to detect specific molecules, such as peptides or proteins. Therefore, choice D is the best option as it describes the specific target of immunocytochemical techniques. The other choices (A) dopamine receptors, (B) glial cell nuclei, (C) cytogens, and (E) white blood cells may also be the target of immunocytochemical techniques, but are not as generally applicable as choice D.
