Overview

Preview of Xenium In Situ Gene Expression data for adult human kidney sections, using a development version of the Xenium Human Multi-Tissue and Cancer Panel.

Biomaterials

Two FFPE tissue microstrips, including multiple tissue samples within a single FFPE donor block, were purchased from AcePix Biosciences. The first tissue block represents a non-diseased kidney section, while the second block was diagnosed with kidney cancer (papillary renal cell carcinoma, or PRCC).

Tissue preparation

Tissues were prepared following the Demonstrated Protocols Xenium In Situ for FFPE - Tissue Preparation Guide (CG000578) and Xenium In Situ for FFPE Tissues – Deparaffinization & Decrosslinking (CG000580).

Post-instrument processing followed the Demonstrated Protocol Xenium In Situ Gene Expression - Post-Xenium Analyzer H&E Staining (CG000613).

Gene panels

The Xenium Human Multi-Tissue and Cancer Panel (377 genes) was pre-designed by 10x Genomics. The panel design was informed using single cell RNA sequencing data curated and reprocessed for standardization by the Human Protein Atlas. Genes were chosen to accurately type cells, and identify select immune, proliferation and tumor markers, in human breast, lung, skin, liver, colon, kidney, lymph node, and heart.

Xenium Analyzer

The instrument run was performed following the Xenium Analyzer User Guide CG000584. The on-instrument analysis was run with Xenium Onboard Analysis version 1.5.0.
