Answer to Question 1

Answer: Antibodies are proteins produced by white blood cells that are specific to another protein or peptide (antigen). Receptors are comprised of proteins (antigens), for which an antibody can be developed and tagged using a marker such as a fluorescent marker (or dye). A slice of brain tissue is incubated with the antibody/marker so that the antibody will attach to the antigen (receptor) with each location indicated by the presence of a fluorescent signal.
