Abstract 7635: Orion™: 14-plex clinical sample imaging of liver cancer modalities using one-step staining and imaging

Abstract Background To better understand the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME), high-resolution imaging at a sub-cellular resolution and high-plex is needed. These serve as a basis for biomarker quantification and more downstream, may provide the ability to predict patient outcome. Here, we investigate three whole slide liver sections: fetal liver, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis. Methods 5-micron sections were cut and mounted on Superfrost Plus slides prior to de-paraffinization and antigen retrieval using the BioGenex EZ-Retriever system. Autofluorescence was quenched using UV and white light and blocked with Image-iT™ FX Signal Enhancer. Whole slides were stained with the 14-plex antibody panel, coverslip mounted with ArgoFluor™ Mounting Medium and cured overnight. Whole slides were imaged at 20X using the Orion™ spatial biology platform. Coverslips were removed in aqueous solution prior to H exhibiting the potential for Orion to bridge the gap from bench-to-bedside.
