Immunofluorescence In the more common protocol for immunofluorescence detection of cellular proteins, an investigator uses two antibodies. The first binds specifically to the protein of interest. The second is labcled with fluorochromes for easy visualization, and it binds to the first antibody. In principle, one could simply label the first antibody and skip one step. Why use two successive antibodies?
