Immunofluorescence or Immunofluorescence Antibody Assay(IFA) is a traditional laboratory technique that utilizes fluorescent dyes to identify the presence of antibodies bound to specific antigens. Immunofluorescence is a powerful technique which allows for the visualisation of proteins or antigens within a cell or a section of tissue. Utilizing the binding specificity of an antibody to a given antigen, antibodies chemically conjugated with fluorescent dyes can be used to bind to specific molecular targets. This allows for easy visualisation by confocal or fluorescent microscopy.
