Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Multiplex imaging technologies are increasingly used for single-cell phenotyping and spatial characterization of tissues; however, transparent methods are needed for comparing the performance of platforms, protocols and analytical pipelines. We developed a python software, mplexable, for reproducible image processing and utilize Jupyter notebooks to share our optimization of signal removal, antibody specificity, background correction and batch normalization of the multiplex imaging with a focus on cyclic immunofluorescence (CyCIF). Our work both improves the CyCIF methodology and provides a framework for multiplexed image analytics that can be easily shared and reproduced. An approach for tissue image analysis applicable to highly multiplexed immunofluorescence imaging of the spatial distribution of multiple protein biomarkers is proposed, here applied to the analysis of multiplex IF using the multiplex imaging platform, CyCIF.
