Methodological protocol demonstrates multiplex immunohistochemical characterization of tertiary lymphoid structures in fixed tissue, highlighting a grading framework for maturity.
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that can develop within or adjacent to tumors, but protocols that can accurately identify and characterize TLSs are lacking. Here, we present a protocol for the in situ interrogation and characterization of TLSs in human and murine tissue sections using Opal™-tyramide signal amplification multiplex immunohistochemistry. This protocol enables simultaneous detection of up to 7 markers (6 antigens and a DAPI counterstain). We also describe a grading system to identify immature and mature TLSs.
