3D Object-based Segmentation-based Quantification of Spatial Protein Organization (OBS3D)
TS-066233 — Protein analysis is foundational to understanding human physiology and is helpful for basic research, diagnosis, guiding treatment, and monitoring of human disease. There are several widely used platforms for evaluating protein function. The primary tools used in protein analysis on cells and tissues include antibody/aptamer, fluorescent detection systems, and mass spectrometry.
Colocalization analysis is the current standard technique for assessing spatial association of co‐labeled proteins in cells using multicolor immunofluorescence images. However, these tools are limited because multiple antigens nearby exhibit overlapping staining, which leads to inaccurate analys…
