Yes @NiuSanford @SuntreaHammer! Here our amazing pathologist-scientist @basbees gets frustrated when he sees 10% discrepancies in auto-immunophenotyping methods on millions of 30-marker cells in biopsies from our immunotherapy trial. Amazing tools—clinic needs to be right there.

I hadn't realized that CPS score for PDL1 expression is manually counted! Pathologists look at a slide w at least 100 cells, individually count or “eyeball” the # staining, then calculate a %. Studies show significant interobserver variability, particularly at lower % cutoffs.

Great journal club by @basbees on this paper by @ShikaRamanan et al. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2020.… Multiple 🤯 results: 1/n 1) Cross-fostering experiments (did I mention I 💕 these?!) show immune phenotype is vertically transferred through MILK (not genetics, epigenetics or microbes)
