Abstract

A highly multiplexed cytometric imaging approach, termed co-detection by indexing (CODEX), is used here to create multiplexed datasets of normal and lupus (MRL/lpr) murine spleens. CODEX iteratively visualizes antibody binding events using DNA barcodes, fluorescent dNTP analogs, and an in situ polymerization-based indexing procedure. An algorithmic pipeline for single-cell antigen quantification in tightly packed tissues was developed and used to overlay well-known morphological features with de novo characterization of lymphoid tissue architecture at a single-cell and cellular neighborhood levels. We observed an unexpected, profound impact of the cellular neighborhood on the expression of protein receptors on immune cells. By comparing normal murine spleen to spleens from animals with systemic autoimmune disease (MRL/lpr), extensive and previously uncharacterized splenic cell-interaction dynamics in the healthy versus diseased state was observed. The fidelity of multiplexed spatial cytometry demonstrated here allows for quantitative systemic characterization of tissue architecture in normal and clinically aberrant samples.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Multiplexed antibody-based imaging technologies such as imaging mass cytometry and CODEX can detect 20-50 selected genes simultaneously in each cell at the protein level, complementing transcript-based detection especially given the potential for poor correlation of transcriptomic and proteomic data sets in senescent cells.

    “For example, multiplexed antibody-based imaging (mABI) technologies such as imaging mass cytometry (IMC) [31] and codetection by indexing (CODEX) [32] can detect 20–50 selected genes simultaneously in each cell at the protein level, which is a useful complement to transcript-based detection – especially given the potential for poor correlation of transcriptomic and proteomic data sets implicated”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
