10x Genomics obtained fresh frozen Invasive Ductal Carcinoma breast tissue from BioIVT Asterand. The tissue was embedded and cryosectioned as described in Visium Spatial Protocols - Tissue Preparation Guide Demonstrated Protocol (CG000240). Tissue sections of 10 µm thickness were placed on Visium Gene Expression Slides.
The slide was coverslipped and the H&E image acquired using a Nikon Ti2-E microscope with the following settings:
- Color camera
- 20X objective
- Numerical Aperture: 0.75
- Exposure: 10 ms
- Gain: 4.5X
The tissue was AJCC/UICC Stage Group IIA, ER positive, PR negative, Her2 positive and annotated with:
- Ductal carcinoma in situ
- Lobular carcinoma in situ
- Invasive Carcinoma
The Visium Spatial Gene Expression library was prepared following the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000239).
