Quantitative colocalization analysis is an advanced digital imaging tool to characterize the
spatial expression of molecules of interest in immunofluorescence images obtained using
confocal microscopes. It began from simple pixel counting and, with introduction of
specialized algorithms, transformed into a powerful image analyzing technique capable of
identifying the exact locations of various molecules in tissues and cells and describing their
subtle changes in dynamics. Applications of quantitative colocalization in the field of …
