What are the opposite words for Direct Immunofluorescence?
Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) is an antonym for Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF). While DIF involves the use of fluorescent antibodies to directly bind to antigens in a tissue specimen, IIF involves the use of a secondary antibody that binds to the primary antibody used to detect the antigens. Another antonym for DIF is indirect immunoperoxidase, which involves the use of a secondary antibody labeled with an enzyme that generates a colored reaction product upon exposure to a substrate. Immunohistochemistry, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses both DIF and IIF and uses antibodies to detect antigens in tissue samples.
