Forensic analysis, Biomarkers, Criminal investigation.Abstract
Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry are essential in the forensic field, allowing the detailed analysis of biological samples. Histochemistry reveals chemical components in tissues, while immunohistochemistry detects antigens using labeled antibodies. Methodology: A literature review was carried out, selecting 8 sources from June to July 2024 in databases such as Pubmed, Scielo, Google Scholar and books. Results: The research revealed advances in sensitivity and specificity, thanks to the development of new technologies. Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry are crucial in the identification of biomarkers, traumatic injuries, and pathogens in complex samples. Discussion: The continuous evolution of these techniques strengthens forensic investigation, promoting security and justice through technological innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration.
