Overview

These datasets are provided as part of the Post-Xenium In Situ Applications: Immunofluorescence, H&E, Visium v2, and Visium HD Technical Note (CG000709, Rev C). Visium HD post-Xenium workflow samples were compared to controls (samples only processed through the Visium HD workflow) using 5 µm (FFPE) serial sections.

The corresponding Xenium experiments are available here.

Biomaterials

A human lung tissue sample (FFPE) with adenocarcinoma was obtained from Avaden Biosciences.

Sample preparation

A 5 µm section was taken with a microtome (Epredia HM355S). Sectioning, deparaffinization, H&E staining and imaging followed the Visium HD FFPE Tissue Preparation Handbook (CG000684).

Imaging

  • Image type: H&E
  • Microscope: Olympus VS200 Slide Scanner
  • Objective magnification: 20X
  • Numerical Aperture: 0.8
  • ScopeLED light source: VS200 LED, Olympus integrated bright field source
  • Camera: iDS VS-264C, Olympus scanner integrated camera
  • Exposure: 500 microseconds

Assay workflow

Probe hybridization, probe ligation, slide preparation, probe release, extension, and library construction followed the Visium HD Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000685).

Analysis

Space Ranger v3.0.0 was used to map FASTQ files to the reference, detect tissue, align the data to the microscope and CytAssist images, and output feature-barcode matrices for further analysis. For Experiment 2, Loupe Browser v8.0 was used for manual alignment.
