Histological Analysis of Immune Tissues: Insights into Structure, Function, and Disease Mechanisms

Abstract

Histological analysis of immunological tissues can provide a full description of cell composition, morphology, and functional organization of lymphoid organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). By immune cell type identification, research on tissue structure, and pathological change identification, the technique can be employed in immunological response studies, inflammation, and diseases such as autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer. Broader recognition of particular immune markers through the use of staining techniques such as immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry make it easier to understand cellular interactions along with the immunological microenvironment.
