21-marker imaging of lung carcinoma with the Orion Instrument
A single lung section was stained with TissuePlex reagents in a single-staining protocol and imaged using the Orion Instrument in a single scan. Three regions of interest (ROIs) are shown below that highlight the 21 markers. Additional single channel images are shown in grayscale for clarity.
Neoplastic Lung

Image above shows cytokeratin-positive, focally TTF1-positive carcinoma in ROI #1. CD8a (magenta), Nuclei (blue), Pan-cytokeratin (green), SMA (white), and TTF1 (red).

Nonneoplastic Lung
