When the antibodies are applied to fixed cells whose membranes have been made permeable to large molecules, they pass through the cell membrane and coat the microfilaments inside. A fluorescent label is then attached to the coated fibers, making them glow brightly when they are observed in the fluorescence microscope. This technique, called indirect immunofluorescence, is presently utilized by many investigators to make visible a variety of subcellular fibers. 3, record 3, English, - indirect%20immunofluorescence
