Scientists then use Akoya’s Spatial Analysis software for visualizing and making proximity measurements for different cell types. Shown here are PD-1+ cells (magenta) within 25μm of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs, in red). The presence of TAMs are associated with inflammation, immunosuppression, and drug resistance. Furthermore, in certain cancers the level of TAM infiltration can serve as a prognostic indicator of overall survival.
