Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a common laboratory technique that is used to anatomically visualize the localization of a specific protein or antigen in cells by use of a specific primary antibody that binds to it.
Okra is mature in about 55-60 days. They can quickly become tough, so harvest frequently from the plant when the pods reach 3-5â long, depending on the variety. Use sharp garden shears and cut the pods away from the plant; about Â¼â or so below the okra pod base. Do not try to pull the pods off as most times you could damage the plant branch.
Trim the okra stems, and cut if you would like into the size you prefer. Boil a pot of water, then place the okra in the boiling water for exactly 3 minutes. Remove and drain. Immediately toss it into a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut them if you have not already and place them in a freezer safe bag and store in the freezer.
