Abstract

Advances in multiplexed single-cell immunofluorescence (mIF) and multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) imaging technologies have enabled the analysis of cell-to-cell spatial relationships that promise to revolutionize our understanding of tissue-based diseases and autoimmune disorders. Multiplex images are collected as multichannel TIFF files; then denoised, segmented to identify cells and nuclei, normalized across slides with protein markers to correct for batch effects, and phenotyped; and then tissue composition and spatial context at the cellular level are analyzed. This chapter discusses methods and software infrastructure for image processing and statistical analysis of mIF/mIHC data.
