MERSCOPE Protein Stain Reagent Kits

Enabling True Multiomic Spatial Measurements

Multiomic spatial measurements that combine transcript and protein detection, with analyte location are critical in understanding cell interactions, signaling, and overall tissue behavior. Vizgen’s MERSCOPE Protein Stain Reagent Kits enable true multiomic measurements by co-detecting proteins and transcripts in a single MERFISH experiment.

MERSCOPE FFPE Anti-body Co-staining Data Release:
Unraveling Immuno-Oncology Signatures in Human Uterine Cancer with MERSCOPE

 Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a promising avenue for treating various malignancies, including human uterine cancer. Research to understand the interplay between immune cell populations and tumor microenvironments is critical for developing effective therapies. For this data showcase, we demonstrate the capability of spatial multi-omics profiling with the Vizgen MERSCOPE® Platform. Specifically, we combined protein staining for CD45RA and CD45RO, key immune cell markers involved in T-cell differentiation and activation, with MERFISH to provide a multi-dimensional view of the tumor microenvironment within FFPE human uterine cancer samples.
