DAB (3,3′-Diaminobenzidine), at a 50X concentration, is a potent chromogenic substrate used extensively in immunohistochemistry for the detection of specific antigens within tissue sections. When used in conjunction with an enzyme like horseradish peroxidase (HRP), DAB undergoes an oxidative transformation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a dark brown precipitate that marks the location of the antigen. This reaction is highly localized, providing clear and precise staining that is crucial for detailed microscopic analysis. The insolubility of the resulting precipitate in alcohol and xylene ensures that the visual markers remain intact through the tissue processing stages, allowing for accurate assessment of protein expression patterns and cellular localization in various research fields, including oncology and neurobiology. The high concentration format of DAB facilitates ease of use by allowing researchers to dilute the substrate according to specific experimental needs, ensuring consistency and reliability in results across different studies.
