In this chapter, we describe the pipeline for multiplex immunohistochemical staining, multispectral image acquisition, and analysis. The protocol is dedicated for use on human formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues and utilizes immune markers of dendritic cells, myeloid cells, and macrophages, as well as cytokeratin. This provides quantitative data of the (co-)expression levels and spatial localization of immune cell subtypes.
Keywords: Immunoprofiling; Multiplex immunohistochemistry; Multispectral imaging.
