Gaps with More Common Methods
October 5, 2017
• Most common practice is to assess via individual IHC on sequential
serial sections (different cells)
• Multispectral methods are limited in the number of markers, because of
the need to separate the colour stains in the same pixel

• Formalin fixed and paraffin
embedded tissue samples.
• Automatic sequential stain-image-
bleach approach utilizing direct
antibody-fluorophore conjugation.
• We are also able to stain and
bleach manually by use the imaging
equipment.

Our First Experiment
• Breast cancer biomarker panel: ER, PR, Ki67, HER2
• Segmentation markers: Dapi, cytokeratin, NaKATPase, S6
• First generation equipment

Goals
• Determine if the signal correlated with the known grade of the patient
• Determine if the signal correlated with the pathologists’ scores
• Assess co-localization of biomarkers

Tissue microarrays were intended to be used for calibration
(AS2000,AS3000) and validation (AS4000) during model development.
Omitted cores are due to missing tissue.
12
Technique Development
We had to change the protocol to
prevent false positive signals.
Antibody species cross-reaction
caused the nuclear staining ki67 to
appear to stain the membrane.

Discussion
Plan: Develop methods on calibration data and assess on validation data.
Reality: We had limit our assessment to ER and HER2 in the calibration
set. WHY?
• Cross-reactivity meant PR and Ki67 signals were questionable for
calibration data set
• Validation signal magnitudes were much different than the calibration set
15
Results
Models were developed on ER and HER2 from the calibration data
set only. We found an association between the image signal and
pathologists’ IHC score.
•Complex models, using groups of decision trees
•Scale and intensity invariant features
•Used out-of-bag (OOB) error rate (like cross-validation)
•ER model: OOB 5.7% (94.3% accuracy), 95% CI (0.89, 0.98).
•HER2 model: OOB 4.6% (95.4 % accuracy)

Quantification of relationships
Our goal is to describe the spatial
arrangement of types of cells making
up the tumour and/or the
microenvironment.
This may help us understand the
heterogeneity of cell populations within
a patient and across patients.
