Abstract

Successful cancer treatment continues to elude modern medicine and its arsenal of therapeutic strategies. Therapy resistance is driven by significant tumor heterogeneity, complex interactions between malignant, microenvironmental and immune cells and cross talk between signaling pathways. Advances in molecular characterization technologies such as next generation sequencing have helped unravel this network of interactions and have vastly affected how cancer is diagnosed and treated. However, the translation of complex genomic analyses to pathological diagnosis remains challenging using conventional immunofluorescence (IF) staining, which is typically limited to 2-5 antigens. Numerous strategies to increase distinct antigen detection on a single sample have been investigated, but all have deleterious effects on the tissue limiting the maximum number of biomarkers that can be imaged on a single sample and none can be seamlessly integrated into routine clinical workflows. To facilitate ready integration into clinical histopathology, we have developed a novel cyclic IF (cycIF) technology based on antibody conjugated oligonucleotides (Ab-oligos).
