Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing image data representing biological units in a tissue sample includes receiving a first image of the tissue sample containing signals from an immunofluorescent (IF) morphological marker, wherein the tissue sample is stained with the IF morphological marker, and receiving a second image of the same tissue sample containing signals from a fluorescent probe, wherein the tissue sample is hybridized in situ with the fluorescent probe. The method further includes classifying each biological unit in the tissue sample into one of at least two classes based on a mean intensity of the signals from the IF morphological marker in the first image, performing a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of the tissue sample in the second image to obtain results therefrom, and filtering the results of the FISH analysis to produce a subset of the results pertaining to biological units classified in one class.

Abstract: The invention herein includes a method for combining immuno staining and FISH using covalently bound small molecule tags. Among embodiments included are methods of tagging immuno and FISH probes for treatment of biologic material. Embodiments comprise directing the fluorescently labeled immuno probe(s) to non-chromosomic portions of a biologic sample and directing labeled FISH probe(s) to chromosomic portions of the biologic sample for further identification of subcellular components. Embodiments also comprise the automatic connection of information regarding the sample to image analysis, to subcellular component identification and enumeration in order to affect biomedical decisions.
