Deep sequencing and automated histochemistry of human tissue slice cultures improve their usability as preclinical model for cancer research

Abstract Cancer research requires models closely resembling the tumor in the patient. Human tissue cultures can overcome interspecies limitations of animal models or the loss of tissue architecture in in vitro models. However, analysis of tissue slices is often limited to histology. Here, we demonst...

This was confirmed by automated analysis of whole tissue slices stained for Ki67. In conclusion, we demonstrate that RNA sequencing of tissue slices is possible and that histochemical analysis of whole tissue slices can be automated which increases the usability of this preclinical model.Susann HaehnelKristin ReicheDennis LoefflerAndreas HornConny BlumertSven-Holger PuppelNicole KaiserFelicitas RappMichael RadeFriedemann HornJuergen MeixensbergerIngo BechmannFrank GaunitzKarsten WinterNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 9, Iss 1, Pp 1-15 (2019)
