Multiplex and Multispectral Analysis of Biomarkers in Breast Cancer and of Immune Cells in Auxiliary Lymph Nodes

TRI Microscopy & Perkin Elmer presents a seminar by Prof Alejandro Contreras from the Dept. of Pathology,  MD Anderson Cancer Centre. 

While standard IHC methods provide essential clinical information, deciphering the co-localization of prognostic and predictive factors in single cells, spatial relationships, and heterogeneity of expression within the primary breast carcinoma , may provide important biological information and additional clinical information that may influence treatment.

Through the use of tyramide signal amplification (TSA) for multiplex staining on paraffin-embedded tissue sections and multispectral image acquisition and analysis platform, he and his team are studying 1) ER, PR, Her-2, Ki-67, and cytokeratin in invasive and metastatic breast cancer, and (2) CD4, CD8, CD68, CD3, PDL1, and cytokeratin in axillary lymph nodes with and without metastatic carcinoma.
