Analysis of Immune Checkpoint Control Protein Co-expression in Breast and Ovarian Cancer Using Novel Rabbit Monoclonal Antibodies and Multiplex IHC
With an increasing number of biomarkers and, often, limited availability of biopsy material, there is a growing need for multiplexed assays for both research and clinical purposes. IHC based solutions are particularly attractive in the field of immuno-oncology, as maintaining spatial context within the tumor microenvironment provides meaningful and potentially actionable information.
Watch the video below.
Immuno-assays with high specificity and sensitivity are a powerful tool, however, there are challenges associated with antibody based multiplexing when you wish to concurrently analyze beyond 2-3 markers.
A multiplex IHC solution that bypasses antibody species/isotype concerns, while providing signal amplification, was used to examine the co-expression of immune checkpoint control proteins, such as PD-L1, B7-H3, B7-H4, and VISTA, in breast and ovarian cancer.
Webinar Highlights
- mIHC allows the simultaneous detection of multiple (>6) targets of interest in a species/isotype independent manner while providing ample signal amplification
- Monoclonal antibodies developed and validated by CST can enable co-detection and spatial characterization of important immune checkpoint control proteins using mIHC
