Once tissues are fixed and permeabilized, the antibodies are added. These antibodies can be labeled directly or detected by a labeled secondary reagent. For indirect detection, any reagent that binds specifically to the primary antibody can be "tagged" and used to locate the antibody. The possible reagents include anti-immunoglobulin antibodies, protein A or G, or, if the first antibody is labeled with biotin, streptavidin. They can be labeled with enzymes or gold. - [Read Binding Antibodies to Tissue Sections Protocol]
Protocol describes here a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes. The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. Includes: In situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probes; Detection of DIG-labeled probes; Fluorescence microscopy. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System]
Protocol describes a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes. The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. This procedure can be used to detect single copy sequences as small as 1 kb on human metaphase chromosomes. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System Protocol]

Provides a protocol for indirect immunofluorescence, which is a method that provides information about the locations of specific molecules and the structure of the cell. Antibody molecules for a specific target molecule are exposed to the cell or tissue being investigated. The binding of these molecules is detected by incubating the sample with a secondary antibody specific for immunoglobulin molecules and conjugated to fluorophore. - [Read Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol]
Protocol for immunohistochemistry on fixed, paraffin-embedded sections. This method is widely used and applies to the detection of the overwhelming majority of antigens, with few exceptions for which enzymatic retrieval is required. The method uses a strong chelating agent, EDTA. Includes: Double indirect AP; AP Developing solution; Indirect immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotin and HRP; HRP Developing solution. - [Read Immunohistochemistry on Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Sections Protocol]
Indirect method measuring immunofluorescence coupled to second antibody. Best for membrane antigens in addition to intra- and extracellular antigens, may be applied to frozen tissue sections, to cells in suspension, and to cells attached to glass slides or coverslips.

Protocol for indirect peroxidase technique. Includes: Sections: Thickness-Between 5 and 10 microns. Pick up on chromic acid etched, poly-L-lysine or chrome alum/gelatine coated slides. Dry at room temperature overnight (not longer than 72 hours). - [Read Indirect Peroxidase Technique Protocol]
A procedure for direct and indirect staining of single-cell suspensions of lymphoid tissue or peripheral blood lymphocytes to detect cell surface membrane antigens is presented. In addition, support protocols present methods for fluorescence labeling of purified antibodies. A protocol for flow cytometric analysis of intracellular antigens in single-cell suspensions is also included. - [Read Preparation of Cells and Reagents for Flow Cytometry Protocols]
Protocol for whole mount fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of repetitive DNA sequences on interphase nuclei of the small cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Includes: Seed sterilization and germination; Tissue fixation; Labeling of the probe DNA; Pretreatment; In situ hybridization; Pre-absorption of antibodies; Posthybridization washes; Immunocytochemical detection; Direct detection; Indirect detection; Staining and mounting; Fluorescence microscopy. - [Read Whole Mount Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH) of Repetitive DNA Sequences on Interphase]
