Tumor cell heterogeneity and tumor cell-stromal interactions are being explored as determinants of disease progression and treatment resistance in solid tumor and hematological malignancies. As such, tools simultaneously capable of highly multiplexed profiling of tissues' protein and RNA content, as well as interrogation of rare or single cells, are required to precisely characterize constituent tumor cell populations, infiltrating lymphocytes and stromal elements. Access to spatial relationships will enable more precise characterization of tumors, support patient stratification and may help to identify novel drug targets. Multiple platforms are being developed to address these critical unmet needs. The NanoString digital spatial profiling (DSP) platform enables highly multiplexed, spatial assessment of protein and/or RNA targets in tissues by detecting oligonucleotide barcodes conjugated via a photocleavable linker to primary antibodies or nucleic acid probes. Although this platform enables high-dimensional spatial interrogation of tissue protein and RNA expression, a detailed understanding of its composition, function and chemistry is advisable to guide experimental design and data interpretation. The purpose of this review is to provide an independent, comprehensive description of the DSP technology, including an overview of NanoString's capture and antibody barcode conjugation chemistries, experimental workflow, data output and analysis methods. The DSP technology will be discussed in the context of other highly multiplexed immunohistochemistry methods, including imaging mass cytometry and multiplexed ion beam imaging, to inform potential users of the advantages and limitations of each. Additional issues such as preanalytical variability, sampling and specimen adequacy will be considered with respect to the platforms to inform potential experimental design.
