How Does Enzyme Histochemistry Compare with Other Techniques?
Compared to other techniques like immunohistochemistry, enzyme histochemistry directly reflects enzyme activity rather than merely showing the presence of proteins. Unlike molecular biology techniques that provide information on gene expression, enzyme histochemistry gives insight into the functional status of enzymes, which can be more relevant in assessing the toxicological impact on cellular physiology. However, it is often used in conjunction with these methods to provide a comprehensive toxicological profile.
