"Both processes employ antibodies to specific antigens (e.g. cellular proteins like GFAP or EMA). There are now a significant number of antibodies, and typically multiple antibodies (a panel) will be used based on the differential diagnosis suggested by the patient's history and standard H&E examination of the sample."

Line 7:90 · 'GFAP' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
