In the following some examples for analyses done with StrataQuest APPs are shown.

The following example was analysed using a combination of the IF Immune Status in siu APP and the FL version of the Angio APP. It was done for the Johns Hopkins Hospital in New York.
The aim was to evaluate the distance of tumor cells from blood vessels within the tumor cell clusters.
Multi-epitope ligand cartography (MELC) is a technology using samples subjected to cycles of fluorescent staining, imaging and photobleaching. Each cycle can use an antibody for a different protein. The result is a set of images of the distributions of many proteins for the same samples.
One of the main strenghts of StrataQuest is the capability to segment morphological structures based on a morphological stain alone (i.e. without a specific staining of the structure to be detected).
In this case, the task was made more difficult due to many very thin areas of stroma.
The aim of the project was to quantify the distribution of anti-CD3 positive cells in and around the epithelial areas of prostate biopsies from a clinical study.
The biopsies were provided by the Medical University of Vienna.
