BackgroundImmunohistochemistry (IHC) is a well-established, widely accepted method in both clinical and experimental parts of medical science. It allows receiving valuable information about any process in any tissue, and especially in bone. Each year the amount of data, received by IHC, grows in geometric progression. But the lack of standardization, especially on the post-analytical stage (interpreting and reporting of results), makes the comparison of the results of different studies impossible.MethodsComprehensive PubMED literature search with a combination of search words “immunohistochemistry” and “scoring system” was performed and 773 articles describing IHC results were identified. After further manual analysis 120 articles were selected for detailed evaluation of used approaches.ResultsSix major approaches to the interpretation and presentation of IHC analysis results were identified, analyzed and described.ConclusionsThe overview of the existing approaches in evaluation and interpretation of IHC data, which are provided in the article, can be used in bone tissue research and for either better understanding of existing scoring systems or developing a new one. Standard multiparametric, semiquantitative IHC scoring systems should simplify and clarify the process of interpretation and reporting of received data.Virtual slidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/13000_2014_221

- Semi-quantitative Determination of Protein Expression using Immunohistochemistry Staining and Analysis: An Integrated Protocol (2019, methodology): “There are several methods and publications (Fedchenko and Reifenrath 2014; Jensen 2017) regarding using semi-quantitative IHC to compare or measure protein expression (Kokolakis et al., 2008; Sysel et al., 2013; Li et al., 2014; Bauman et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2018).”
