Answer:

This technique is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors, as well as in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a laboratory technique used to identify specific proteins (antigens) in cells of a tissue section. It works by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.
