Multiplexed and Multiomic Mass Spectrometry Imaging of MALDI-IHC Photocleavable Mass Tag Tissue Probes, N-Glycomics, and the Extracellular Matrisome from FFPE Tissue Sections
摘要
Recent work in single-cell imaging has allowed unprecedented insight into single-cell interactions that control disease progression. However, approaches to understanding the combined extracellular and cellular microenvironment are limited. In the current protocol, we describe an approach that allows single-cell type imaging using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization immunohistochemistry (MALDI-IHC) of UV (ultraviolet) photocleavable mass tags combined with N-glycomic and ECM-targeted proteomic imaging from the same formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue section. These approaches use the same imaging mass spectrometry platform to provide a comprehensive view of both the cellular and extracellular tissue microenvironment.
