The label, either fluorescent or enzymatic, is used to visualize the antigen-antibody complex. In this multi-step application, staining may be influenced by multiple variables and requires the careful optimization of new assays for each target antigen. For example, when investigating a high abundance protein in formaldehyde-fixed tissue, the IHC
