Akoya antibodies were purchased preconjugated to their respective CODEX barcode (Supplementary Data 5). All other antibodies were custom conjugated to their respective CODEX barcode (Supplementary Data 5) according to Akoya’s CODEX user manual using the CODEX Conjugation Kit (Akoya, 7000009). Briefly, 50 μg of carrier-free antibodies (Supplementary Data 5) were concentrated by centrifugation in 50 kDa MWCO filters (EMD Millipore, UFC505096) and incubated in the antibody disulfide reduction master mix for 30 min. After buffer exchange of the antibodies to conjugation solution by centrifugation, addition of conjugation solution and centrifugation, respective CODEX barcodes resuspended in conjugation solution were added to the concentrated antibody and incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Conjugated antibodies were purified by 3 buffer exchanges with purification solution. 100 μl of antibody storage buffer was added to the concentrated purified antibodies.
