Biomarker discovery is a crucial part of the fast developing field of personalized medicine. Antibody-based techniques including immunostaining of tissue samples are widely used for biomarker evaluation in preclinical and clinical studies. When used in conjunction with robust image analysis methods, it provides a powerful means to assess biomarker modulation, toxicity, and patient response to targeted agents. Here, we describe the optimization of immunofluorescent (IF) staining protocols and a sample IF multiplex protocol suitable for colocalization image analysis.
生物标志物发现是快速发展的个性化医疗领域的关键部分。基于抗体的技术,包括组织样本的免疫染色,在临床前和临床研究中被广泛用于生物标志物评估。当与强大的图像分析方法结合使用时,它提供了一种强大的手段来评估生物标志物调节、毒性以及患者对靶向药物的反应。在此,我们描述了免疫荧光(IF)染色方案的优化以及一种适用于共定位图像分析的样本IF多重方案。
