Abstract:examination cannot comprehensively assess the molecular heterogeneity in the tumour microenvironment. We aim to capture tissue morphology and single cell protein expression of cancer and immune cells within intact tissue sections of stage III colorectal tumours from 11 patients. Methods: Using Hyperion Image Mass Cytometry (IMC), we simultaneously profiled 16 protein markers from FFPE samples, including cancer (Ki-67, p53) and immune (CD3, CD4, CD8a, CD45RO, CD20, CD68, Granzyme B) cell markers. We integrated … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
