  • Publication number: 20220051804
    Abstract: Heterogeneity for biomarkers in a tissue sample can be calculated. A heterogeneity score can be combined with an immunohistochemistry combination score to provide breast cancer recurrence prognosis. Heterogeneity can be based on percent positivity determinations for a plurality of biomarkers according to how many cells in the sample stain positive. An immunohistochemistry combination score can be calculated. An imaging tool can support a digital pathologist workflow that includes designating fields of view in an image of the tissue sample. Based on the fields of view, a heterogeneity metric can be calculated and combined with an immunohistochemistry combination score to generate a breast cancer recurrence prognosis score.

  • Publication number: 20110135606
    Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of diagnostics, namely to test systems for polypeptides in respect to silicone. More precisely, the present invention, in one embodiment thereof, concerns test systems for identifying and analyzing polypeptides adhering to silicone. Furthermore, the present invention relates to newly identified polypeptides adhering to silicone and to respective uses of such proteins, e.g., in test systems for detecting a response reaction of a mammal to a silicone.
