    Immunochemistry involves the study of the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of the immune system with specificity on the nature of antibodies, antigens and their interactions. Immunochemistry also entails the use of antibodies in the labeling of epitopes of interest in cells (immunocytochemistry) or tissues (immunohistochemistry). This technique has application in the diagnosis as well as in the prognosis of diseases and tumors through the development of locus-specific monoclonal antibodies. Also, immunochemistry has prognostic applications in tumors and this has paved way for the implementation of preventive measures against these tumors development. In addition, disease diagnoses have undergone improvement through the use of immunochemistry the evolution of diagnostic markers is significantly changing the clinical practices of the surgical pathologists...
