Overview
PhenoCode Signature Panels enable the comprehensive analysis of the tumor microenvironment. Characterizing the tumor microenvironment (TME) starts by asking 5 fundamental questions:
1. Is the tumor "hot" or "cold"?
Tumors characterized as “hot” exhibit signs of inflammation with T cell infiltration making them more likely to respond to single agent and combination therapies.
Discover the status of the tumor with PhenoCode Signature Immuno-Contexture Human Protein Panel
2. Where are the immune cells in the TME?
The composition of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) varies between tumors and is strongly associated with outcomes to single agent and combination therapies.
Explore the identity of the immune cells with PhenoCode Signature Immune Profile Human Protein Panel
3. Are the tumor cells proliferating or lymphocytes activated?
The ability to determine the tumor proliferative state and the activation status of the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) could provide important information that can guide therapeutic decisions.
Assess TIL activation status and proliferative states with the PhenoCode Signature Activated TIL Status Human Protein Panel
4. What are the polarization states of the TAMs?
M1 (classically activated) and M2 (alternatively activated) tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) play a key role in regulating the inflammatory or immunosuppressive state of the TME.
Determine the polarization state of TAMs with M1/M2 Polarization Panel.
5. Are immunosuppressive cells contributing to immunotherapy resistance?
T cell exhaustion and the presence of immunosuppressive cells can contribute to an immunosuppressive TME. Recognition of these states can direct therapeutic strategies aimed at overcoming immunotherapy resistance.
