Notes on immunofluorescence (IF)

• Biopsy placed in Michel’s solution (contains ammonium sulfate)

• DIF = detect tissue-bound immunoreactant, while indirect IF = detect circulating autoantibodies

• Usually use fluorescein isothiocyanate to fluoresce = absorbs at 490–495 nm (blue) and peak emission at 510–517 nm (green color)
