Multiplex tissue profiling - protein localization in single-cell types

The Tissue resource has implemented a novel protocol for studying protein localization in single-cell types, cell states and subcellular structures in human tissue samples, utilizing multiplex immunohistochemistry-based fluorescence imaging. With the help of single-cell transcriptomics and an iterative staining-stripping method, seven antibody panels have been developed to profile eight different tissues. In version 24.0, 1021 proteins have been analyzed using multiplex tissue profiling. More information about the generation of the multiplex tissue profiling data can be found on the Methods page.

  • Spatial analysis at a resolution not obtained by regular immunohistochemistry
  • Overlap in expression between uncharacterized proteins and specific cell type markers
  • Protein localization in single-cell types, cell states and subcellular structures
