    摘要: A method for analyzing planar sample is provided. In some cases the method comprises: (a) incubating the planar sample with a capture agent that is linked to an oligonucleotide, wherein the capture agent specifically binds to complementary sites in the planar sample; (b) reading a fluorescent signal caused by extension of a primer that is hybridized to the oligonucleotide, using fluorescence microscopy. Several implementations of the method, and multiplexed versions of the same, are also provided.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer system having: a primary ion source capable of irradiating a segment on a planar sample with a beam of primary ions, an orthogonal ion mass-to-charge ratio, the analyzer being configured to separate secondary elemental atomic ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio by time of flight; an ion detector for detecting secondary elemental atomic ions and producing mass spectra measurements; and a synchronizer. In the system, the beam of primary ions scans across the planar sample in two dimensions and the synchronizer associates the mass spectra measurements with positions on the planar sample.

    摘要: Provided herein, among other things, is a method for predicting how a patient responds to immunotherapy. In some embodiments, the method may comprise: performing a multiplexed binding assay on a tissue section of a tumor obtained from a cancer patient to identify at least cancer cells, effector immune cells and immunosuppressive cells in the tissue section; measuring, for each cell of a plurality of the effector immune cells: (i) the physical distance to its most proximal cancer cell; and (ii) the physical distances to its most proximal immunosuppressive cell; and calculating, for each of the effector immune cells analyzed, the ratio of the distance measured in step (i) and distance measured in step (ii), wherein the ratio is predictive of the patient's response to immunotherapy. The method may be used to select patients for immunotherapy.
