Definition 1
An immunological procedure in which the antibodies are coupled with molecules which fluoresce under ultra violet (UV) light. This makes them particularly suitable for detection of specific antigens in tissues or on cells. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
A bioassay in which fluorescent-coupled antibodies or antigens are used to quantify or qualify a biological response to a stimulus. (NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
