Ah, the good old days,when cell phones were as big as bricks,personal computers were still a revolutionary conceptóandcellular analysis was done one painstaking step at a time. Itused to be that when life scientists wanted to examine what

was happening in tissue samples, they would have to carefully preparesections of the tissue, stain them with one or perhaps two ˇuorescentdyes (carefully chosen so that they would not interfere with each other),and examine each section on amicroscope with limited excitation lightand ˇlter options. Back then, single-cell analysis using ˇow cytometrywas in its infancy, requiring huge devices and experts to run them.Fast forward to 2019: Fortunately, we have made some signiˇcantadvancements in user-friendly technology for cellular analysis.Scientists now use an approach called multiplexing,which allows forthe observation and analysis of upwards of 30 to 40 elements withina sampleóeach tagged with a different ˇuorescent dyeóin the sameexperiment. Thanks to highly engineered optical interference ˇltersand breakthroughs in light sources such as lasers and LEDs, much morereliable data can be collected, and many related objects and processescan be observed almost simultaneously, often in situ, saving time andmoney while generating more meaningful results.

ìNature is complex,î says David Schwartz, cofounder, CEO, andchief scientiˇc ofˇcer of Cell IDx, a biotech company that developsmultiplex reagents for research and clinical immunohistochemistry.ìIn any assay, one wants to tease out asmuch information from eachsample as possible. So being able tomultiplex is key.îMultiplexingitself is not new, but its power to acquire large amounts of relevantbiological information quickly has advanced signiˇcantly in the last fewyears.Multiplexing basically involves the use of multiple streams ofdata gathered within a short period of time. In life sciencesmicroscopy,multiplexing requires the use of multiple ˇuorophores, each chemicallyconnected to unique probes, such as antibodies, that bind tomoleculesof interest. Scientists stain each cell or tissue sample with differentˇuorophores, exciting it with different wavelengths of light that cause

it to ˇuoresce with a characteristic spectrum.When multiplexing,one uses multiple ˇuorophores that emit their own distinctive, butoften overlapping, emission spectra.Discriminating between theseoverlapping spectra is essential tomultiplexingóand without opticalinterference ˇlters, would be impossible. These ˇlters, composed ofalternating layers of materials with different refractive indices, transmitlight of desired wavelengths while rejecting unwanted wavelengths.

ìWhen using multiplexing, context is preserved when identifyingand quantifying biomarkers on tissue, unlike in any other diagnostic orimmunoassay technique.With other techniques, you tear [cells] apartto detect and quantify targets,î notes Schwartz. ìWith multiplexing,you can observe multiple markers in context, and this is especiallyimportant in ˇelds like immuno-oncology, where one wants todetermine where the immune cells are locatedóin that case, in thetumor or stromaóand their location relative to each other.î

Flow Cytometry:Multiplexingwith morechannels

Microscopy is not the only platform in which multiplexing canbe applied to better understand living tissue. In ˇow cytometry,individually isolated cells are suspended in a ˇuid and labeledwith ˇuorescently tagged antibodies, similar to preparing slides forˇuorescent microscopy. As the solution ˇows past a series of lasers,more than two dozen ˇuorescent parameters can be distinguishedand measured in each cell by the ˇow cytometer, allowing scientiststo quicklymeasure and identify the proteins expressed inmillionsof intact cells from a tissue sample. ìThe advantage of multiplexingin ˇow cytometry is being able to interrogate complex differences inprotein expression at the single-cell level,î says Jody Martin, seniorstaff scientist in advanced technology development at BD, a globalmedical technology company. ìNow we are measuring up to 30proteins at a time in a single experiment,which allows us to decipherthe heterogeneity of cells from a given tissue sample.î Furthermore,

adds Martin, flow cytometry removes the need to analyze tissue ona slide—which makes it challenging to distinguish and study largenumbers of discrete cells—and enables a wealth of data to be gatheredvery quickly, albeit at the expense of some contextual information.As for microscopes, the platform is also evolving to allow for morefluorophores to be used together, and “the color filters are such goodquality that they minimize bleeding [of the colors together],” he says.

As director of flow cytometry core laboratories for the SitemanCancer Center at Washington University in St. Louis’s Department ofMedicine,William C. Eades has been using flow cytometry for decades.He is involved in many projects attempting to better understand howcancer grows. “Originally, if you had more than one color laser excitingmultiple fluorescent tags on the same cell at the same time, there wasjust too much bright laser light and dim fluorescent emission to isolatethem from each other. It simply didn’t work well,” he says. “Once itwas found that lasers could be separated to hit cells at different times,multiplexing flow cytometry took off.”

The true power of multiplexing is not purely academic but hasreal-world consequences: the ability to generate a wealth of knowledgeabout a specific cell or tissue in a single experiment, even when the cellis rare in our bodies—as rare as one cell in a thousand, for example. Thiscapability has far-reaching implications for individualized medicine,allowing a tumor sample to be better characterized, thus enablingimproved and more rapid diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Flow cytometry is not an imaging discipline, adds Eades. “We don’tsee the cells.We count light signals …we are staggering the excitationlasers and emission of the fluorescence to see 30 colors at a time in ourlab, frommany cells at extremely high speeds—up to 30,000 cells persecond.” Eades notes that “we really need both methods of study for thecells: To be able to truly know we’re analyzing a cell requires imaging,and to be able to count very small proportions of cells rapidly requiresflow cytometry.”

What of the future?

There are still challenges ahead in the effort to fine-tunemultiplexing. Schwartz is hopeful that more sensitive and specificdetection methods will evolve. “What we need are assays to detectand quantify as many markers as possible on a single tissue specimen,simply and at costs accessible to all researchers,” he says.

Instrument manufacturers are already developing more robust,powerful hardware. Martin observes a push to develop morefluorophores, which are needed for complex multiplexing. And whilethe software to analyze all this information is also pivoting towardimprovement, powerful algorithms steeped in artificial intelligence andmachine learning will play an even more valuable role in processingand interpreting the data.

It’s clear that the future of multiplexed cell analysis is exciting,bright, and bold. “Every field [of biosciences] can leverage multiplexingto better study heterogeneous cells,” says Martin, and multiplexingmakes scrutinizing heterogeneous samples much easier than othermethods. But the real payout is improving clinical assays, diagnostics,monitoring, and actual patient outcomes. “How do we democratize andstandardize these multiplexing techniques to the point that cliniciansand doctors can use them routinely?” he asks. The goal, says Martin,is “to have pathologists adopting these tools to better understandbiopsies and thereby disease progression,” so that swifter, moreaccurate treatment decisions can be made.

“We are laying the foundation for the future,” says Schwartz.“Complex, living tissue was the last type of sample to resist multiplexedassays, but now we are making headway and setting the stage for evenmore exciting discoveries.”
