<strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Staining</strong> <strong>Immunohistochemistry</strong><br />

Conclusion<br />

<strong>Multi</strong>ple-target staining will one day be a routine procedure just as<br />

single-target staining is today. Use of the technique will extend, since<br />

it offers reduced turnaround-time and information not obtainable<br />

from single-target staining. availability of reagents that give a wider<br />

range of possibilities when it comes to choice of technique, such as<br />

e.g. labeled primary antibodies and antibodies raised in different<br />

host species, will likely increase. In addition, some suppliers now<br />

offer complete kits with clinically-relevant antibody cocktails and<br />

visualization systems optimized to give the correct, balanced stain,<br />

thus significantly reducing the workload for the user.<br />

Software for automated image acquisition and analysis will play<br />

a key role in this evolution since the limit to how many colors the<br />

human eye is capable of distinguishing is limited. analysis algorithms<br />

will never entirely replace a skilled pathologist, but algorithms will<br />

gradually improve as the amount of information loaded into underlying<br />

databases increase. eventually, algorithms will become sufficiently<br />

“experienced” to be able in many cases to suggest a diagnosis, and<br />

only the final decision will be left for the pathologist.<br />
