Description

The functional analysis of macromolecular structures in tissues and cells has been enhanced by histochemistry and cytochemistry. Enzyme histochemistry is becoming particularly important, as new methods succeed in demonstrating and quantifying the activity of key regulatory enzymes. The specificity, precision and reproducibility of enzyme histochemical methods are constantly improving. This laboratory manual contains a selection of the most important enzyme histochemical techniques currently available for light microscopy. The methods included here were chosen because of their reliability and specificity, and are all detailed in easy-to-follow protocols. The introductory chapter provides a theoretical background to enzyme histochemistry, and the book should be of use to all researchers in cell biology, pathology, biochemistry and cell physiology.
