Immunohistochemistry or IHC refers to the process of detecting antigens (e.g.‚ proteins) in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.[1] IHC takes its name from the roots "immuno‚" in reference to antibodies used in the procedure‚ and "histo‚" meaning tissue (compare to immunocytochemistry). Immunohistochemical staining is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors. A video

Cobalt 60 Mode of decay: Beta particles and gamma radiation Chemical properties: Metallic solid that can become magnetically charged What is it used for? Co-60 is used medically for radiation therapy as implants and as an external source of radiation exposure. It is used industrially in leveling gauges and to x-ray welding seams and other structural elements to detect flaws. Co-60 also is used for food irradiation (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/ foodirradiation.htm)‚ a sterilization

and metastasis (The Cancer Council Australia & Australian Cancer Network‚ 2005). Adenomatous polyps on the wall of large intestine have possibility to grow into colorectal cancer and around 80% of tumours in the colon are developed through adenoma-carcinoma sequence over years (Kumar‚ Abbas‚ Fausto‚ & Aster‚ 2010). For instance‚ the loss of TSG on chromosome 5 or other in mucosa cells of the colon could lead normal epithelium to become hyperproliferative‚ making small‚ benign polyps. Further combinations
