Research Highlights
Automated TRCBC1 and TRBC2 BaseScope™ as a Novel, Quicker and Cheaper Method for the Diagnosis of T-Cell Lymphoma
Learning Objective:
At present, cases of suspected T-cell lymphoma undergo T-cell receptor clonality studies, which introduce clinical delay, are costly and require highly trained staff for interpretation, as well as losing any morphological or immunophenotypic context of clonal populations of cells.
The University of Cambridge undertook a pilot study in T-cell lymphomas and corresponding benign samples on the BOND RX research stainer, using BaseScope™ probes located in the highly divergent 3’UTRs of TRBC1 and TRBC2.
Fluorescent Multiplex Staining of RNA and Protein Targets on the BOND RX Research Stainer
Learning Objective:
The Experimental Histopathology facility at the Francis Crick Institute has been using the BOND RX system since 2020 to optimize bespoke RNAscope assays, and multiplex immunofluorescence panels using OPAL fluorophores and multimodal RNA/protein staining in addition to running routine immunohistochemistry.
Characterizing the Tumor Microenvironment through Immunophenotyping and Spatial Biology using Ultivue 8-plex Immunofluorescence Technology on the BOND RX Research Stainer
Learning Objective:
Using custom-designed Ultivue 8-plex kits on the BOND RX system by Leica Biosystems, it enables the definition of the T-cell phenotypes spatially and quantitatively. This is especially important in treatment response monitoring and TME infiltration assessment in immunotherapy clinical programs at Adaptimmune where next generation SPEAR-T cell have been developed using Adaptimmune’s affinity-enhanced tumor antigen targeting TCR technology.
