Tumor Microenvironment Lab

Overview of Services

The Tumor Microenvironment (TME) Core performs multiplexed immunofluorescence/immunohistochemical (mIF/mIHC), single color IHC assays, and amplified in situ hybridization (ISH) studies using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples collected from both humans and animals. The TME Core provides consultations, assistance with assay development, slide scanning, image processing, and basic bioinformatic analysis of resulting data. Additionally, the TME will also develop new antibody protocols and mIF/mIHC panels as requested. The TME Core has two Leica Biosystems Bond RX Automated Slide Stainers, four Akoya Biosciences Vectra Polaris Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging Systems, and two Akoya Biosciences Vectra 3.0 Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging Systems. The TME also provides access to a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer brightfield slide scanner and a Leica Microsystems LMD7 laser capture microdissection microscope. The software required for image analysis for these platforms (Indicia Labs HALO, inForm Akoya Biosciences, etc) is also be available through the Center.
