Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Techniques: Applications to Pharmacology and Toxicology (Hardcover)

Toxicological and pharmacological effects arise when chemicals interact with biophysical functions in discrete cell types. Researchers have a continuing need to screen novel compounds for their potential therapeutic needs and, once these have been discovered, to understand their molecular actions. Histochemistry can be used to facilitate the development of the knowledge on the distribution of a compound, the receptors to which it binds and the modulation of the physiological functions that are being investigated.
