Abstract
This is an overview of all protocols currently in use for the 2024 GE HealthCare/UPitt collaboration for the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP). It includes links to each of the individual protocols that make up this project workflow.
Obtaining Donors and Tissue Blocks
Confirm donor acceptance criteria for inclusion.
5 mm skin biopsies obtained from donor subjects are divided into two parts, with one half for formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) processing and the other half for skin digestion for further scRNA analysis.
scRNA Analysis
Cell DIVE Multiplexed Immunofluorescence (MxIF)
Prepare formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) blocks and tissue sections.
Characterize antibodies (primary/secondary, direct conjugates, and zenon labelled antibodies) and determine any antigen effects from the Cell DIVE dye inactivation process.
Prepare direct conjugates for study.
Perform Cell DIVE™ multiplexed data acquisition on the final cohort.
Note
Staining is done using the Leica Bond MAX and images are acquired on the IN Cell Analyzer 2200.
