How Can Antibody-Antigen Interactions be Used in Cancer Diagnostics?
Antibody-antigen interactions are also utilized in cancer diagnostics. Techniques such as immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employ antibodies to detect the presence of tumor antigens in tissue samples or blood. These methods can help in diagnosing cancers, determining the stage, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies.
