Abstract
The present invention provides methods for the use of enzymes to selectively deposit metal to the vicinity of a target molecule. The invention also relates to applications of enzymatic metal deposition to sensitively and selectively detect target molecules such as biomarkers in various biological samples, such as chromogenic immunohistochemical (IHC) detection in situ by using bright field light microscope.
