The TNBC TMA slides were stained and analysed on the Nanostring GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) platform by the Systems Biology and Data Science Group at Griffith University (Gold Coast, Australia). Visualisation markers consisted of Pan-cytokeratin and CD45. Protein panel consisted of 68 antibodies including human immune cell core panel, immuno-oncology (IO) drug target, immune activation, immune cell typing, pan-tumour, cell death, and PI3K/AKT panels. Slides were processed as per manufacturer’s instructions and tumour/stroma demarcated by masking on PanCK+ or PanCK- regions, respectively. Antibody barcodes were counted on Ncounter® platform as per manufacturer’s instructions and External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC) QC performed in DSP analysis suite prior to outputting data for bioinformatic analysis.
