Abstract

The accurate detection of immune checkpoint molecules on the surface of tumor cells is of great significance for immunotherapy. Herein, we propose a method based on cellular interface supported cascade signal amplification mediated by CRISPR/Cas13a system for in situ analysis of immune checkpoint molecules on bladder cancer cells. CD47 and EpCAM on bladder cancer cells can be sensitively monitored through T7 transcription amplification, CRISPR/Cas13a system and HCR triple signal amplification. Moreover, the established method can specifically differentiate EpCAM and CD47 positive bladder cancer cells and well serve for the evaluation of two kinds of membrane protein inhibitors. In a word, the method we proposed can successfully realize in situ analysis of immune checkpoint molecules on bladder cancer cells for guiding immunotherapy.
