| Definitions |
This technique is used to detect proteins and peptides in a tissue section by binding to specific antibodies. Subsequently, a secondary antibody that is conjugated to a fluorophore or an enzyme needed for the detection of a signal is hybridized to the primary antibody. Signal is generally detected by immunofluorescence or less commonly, by a colored reaction. This allows the detection and subcellular localization of the protein of interest by visualization under a microscope. |

The BioAssay Ontology integrates with OntoloBridge, allowing community users to suggest additions to the public ontology. Complete the template below to submit a term request directly to the ontology maintainer.
Term Label (required)
Suggested term name. If a term can be described with multiple synonyms, only list the preferred name here.
Example: tissue-based format
Term description (required)
A brief definition, description, or usage of your suggested term. Additional term synonyms may be listed in this section.
Example: Involves the use of a tissue derived from a living organism and is a heterogeneous assay type.
Superclass (required)
The parent term of the suggested term. The parent term should be an existing entry of the current ontology. The superclass can be selected directly from the 'Classes' viewer on Bioportal's left tree navigation.
