Preferred Label : fluorescent antibody technique;
MeSH definition : Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with
fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by
formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated
anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue
is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.;
