A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be made through a biopsy of the brain. However, in order to diagnose the disease in this way, samples must be taken from areas of the brain that are still functioning. Immunohistochemistry can be used to identify the presence of Alzheimer's disease in brain samples.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to identify proteins in tissue sections by staining them with antibodies. It is used to identify the presence, location, and amount of proteins in a given tissue. IHC is often used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD). In AD, the presence of abnormal accumulations of proteins, such as beta-amyloid and tau, are used to diagnose the condition. By using antibodies to target these proteins, IHC allows doctors to identify them in brain tissue samples and confirm a diagnosis.
