GeoMx® Protein Assays
Helping Your Research
High-plex Spatial Proteomic Analysis
GeoMx Protein Assays enable quantitative, spatial analysis of 96+ proteins from a single FFPE or Fresh Frozen slide, vastly expanding the number of markers you can profile from a single tissue section compared to traditional immunohistochemical methods. All assays are validated for use in multiplex so you can focus on the biology of interest without wasting time troubleshooting assay performance.
How it Works
The assay relies upon antibodies coupled to photocleavable oligonucleotide tags designed for readout with nCounter® (≤96-plex) or NGS (over 100-plex) platforms. After hybridization of antibodies to slide-mounted tissue sections, the oligonucleotide tags are released from discrete regions of the tissue via UV exposure. Released tags are counted in a standard nCounter assay or sequenced using NGS, and counts are mapped back to tissue location yielding a spatially resolved digital profile of protein abundance.
All GeoMx® Protein Assays undergo extensive validation to ensure high quality GeoMx DSP data. Read more about GeoMx Antibody Validation in this white paper.

From bulk, single-cell to spatial RNA sequencing.
RNA sequencing (RNAseq) can reveal gene fusions, splicing variants, mutations/indels in addition to differential gene expression, thus providing a more complete genetic picture than DNA sequencing. This most widely used technology in genomics tool box has evolved from classic bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq), popular single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to newly emerged spatial RNA sequencing (spRNAseq).
Visualizing in deceased COVID-19 patients how SARS-CoV-2 attacks the respiratory and olfactory mucosae but spares the olfactory bulb.
Anosmia, the loss of smell, is a common and often the sole symptom of COVID-19. The onset of the sequence of pathobiological events leading to olfactory dysfunction remains obscure.
Novel intragraft regulatory lymphoid structures in kidney allograft tolerance.
Intragraft events thought to be relevant to the development of tolerance are here subjected to a comprehensive mechanistic study during long term spontaneous tolerance that occurs in C57BL/6 mice that receive life sustaining DBA/2 kidneys. These allografts rapidly develop periarterial Treg-rich organized lymphoid structures (TOLS) that form in response to class II but not to class I MHC disparity and form independently of lymphotoxin α and lymphotoxin β receptor pathways.
