Muscle fiber type can be measured in 3 ways: myosin
ATPase histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, or (much less commonly) metabolic enzymes.
Previous studies of neuron survival by the Priestley lab have confirmed with toluidine
blue histochemistry that NeuN immuno - reactivity is a reliable marker of neuron survival after spinal cord injury [34].

Immunofluorescence is a useful diagnostic measure when performed as immuno -
histochemistry for antigen detection in tissues; however, it is typically performed on tissues obtained after death.
Our success in these areas is complemented by our substantial investment in cutting - edge facilities for nuclear magnetic resonance, protein crystallization, X-ray crystallography, transgenics,
histochemistry, electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, and fluorescence activated cell sorting.

This process combines information derived from myosin ATPase
histochemistry with histochemistry of certain enzymes that are involved in energy metabolism.
