Spatial Signatures
The Next Generation of Predictive Biomarkers
What are Spatial Signatures?
Spatial Signature are predictive biomarkers based on spatial relationships and protein co-expression of specific cellular subsets assessed within the context of the tumor micro-environment (TME). These spatially determined predictive biomarkers provide deeper insights into the tumor-immune biology and could inform treatment response.
Spatial Signatures can be based on the following within the TME (tumor, stroma, invasive margin): presence or absence of a phenotype, proximity, density, structures or unique neighborhood or a combination of these features.

How are Spatial Signatures measured?
At the core of spatial signature development is multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF), a next-generation pathology workflow that generates quantitative and reproducible insights about tumor samples.
What is the best platform for the development of Spatial Signatures?
The development of accurate and reproducible spatial signatures requires a reproducible and robust solution.
The MITRE study, is the first multi-institutional analytical demonstration of a spatial biology workflow and establishes the reproducibility and robustness of Akoya Biosciences’ PhenoImager platform for spatial signature development.
Case Study: A framework for developing a robust Spatial Signature
In this study, the authors present a detailed framework for mIF assay development and data analysis on the PhenoImager platform that can be used to standardize results across research institutions – an important step towards generating highly predictive spatial signature for clinical implementation.
Application: Leveraging Spatial Signatures for Companion Diagnostics
A first-of-its-kind companion diagnostic, the OncoSignature® test, developed by Acrivon, will leverage the spatial phenotyping capabilities of the PhenoImager solution to localize and quantify the expression of a signature of clinically relevant protein biomarkers within the tumor during clinical development.
