nCounter® Breast Cancer 360™ Panel
Helping Your Research
Want a system that provides a unique 360° view of gene expression for the breast tumor, microenvironment, and immune response? If yes, then you have found the right product. The Human nCounter Breast Cancer 360 panel and data analysis report helps researchers quickly decode the complexities of breast cancer biology, develop novel breast cancer gene signatures, and categorize disease heterogeneity using 48 biological signatures including signatures based upon the validated PAM50 and Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS) assays. Get the most out of your panel by quickly distilling a large amount of data into actionable signatures measuring variables crucial to breast tumor-immune interaction.
Inspired by systems biology approaches to cancer research, NanoString’s 360 Series Panel Collection gives you a 360° view of gene expression by combining carefully-curated content involved in the biology of the tumor, microenvironment, and the immune response into a single holistic assay. Each panel contains the 18-gene Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS) that measures a peripherally-suppressed, adaptive immune response and has been shown to correlate with response to checkpoint inhibitors.

Product Information
Includes expertly curated 776 genes across 23 categories of breast cancer tumor biology to support the evaluation of pathways and process, as well as novel signature development.
Content included in the Breast Cancer 360 panel allows for a more comprehensive measurement of biological variables crucial to tumor progression and response to a wide-range of treatments. Research signatures are enriched with potentially predictive genes involved in proliferation, endothelial, angiogenesis, cytotoxicity, stroma, inflammatory chemokines, and apoptosis.
- 48 signatures including two analytically validated signatures- PAM501,2 and Tumor Inflammation Signature3
- 10 research-focused signatures and 30 novel signatures measuring important tumor and immune activities
- adapted to decode breast cancer biology in concert
Analytically Validated Signatures
PAM50 Signature1,2
Included with the Breast Cancer 360 panel is the PAM50 Signature. This 50-gene signature measures a gene expression profile that allows for the classification of breast cancer into four biologically distinct subtypes and a prognostic score.
- PAM50 Subtype
- Luminal A
- Luminal B
- HER2-Enriched
- Basal-like
- Prosigna Score / Risk of Recurrence
Tumor Inflammation Signature3
Included with the Breast Cancer 360 panel is the Tumor Inflammation Signature. This 18-gene signature measures activity known to be associated with response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors pathway blockade3.
- Includes 4 areas of immune biology used to determine peripherally suppressed immune response and the identification of “hot” or “cold” tumors
- Antigen Presenting Cells
- T Cell/NK presence
- IFNγ Biology
- T Cell Exhaustion
- Tissue-of-origin agnostic (Pan-cancer)
- Potential surrogate for PD-L1 and mutational load in research setting4

A novel diagnostic approach for the classification of small B-cell lymphoid neoplasms based on the NanoString platform.
Small B-cell lymphoid neoplasms (SBCLNs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by malignant clonal proliferation of mature B-cells. However, the classification of SBCLNs remains a challenge, especially in cases where histopathological analysis is unavailable or those with atypical laboratory findings or equivocal pathologic data.
Remodeling of the tumor microenvironment via disrupting Blimp1(+) effector Treg activity augments response to anti-PD-1 blockade.
BACKGROUND: Accumulation of Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells in the tumor often represents an important mechanism for cancer immune evasion and a critical barrier to anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy. Many tumor-infiltrating Treg cells display an activated phenotype and express the transcription factor Blimp1.
Expression of CIB1 correlates with colorectal liver metastases but not with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Background: Molecular differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with the metastatic route. Patient survival is mainly driven by metastatic spread thus it is imperative to understand its key drivers to develop biomarkers for risk stratification, follow-up protocols and personalized therapy.
