How do you quantify stain in image J?
We are almost ready, but first we have to tell ImageJ what to measure by opening the Analyze>Set Measurements dialog and checking “Area”, “Area Fraction”, “Limit to Threshold” and “Display Label”. Then press “m” (Analyse>Measure) and the area and percent area will be displayed in the “Results” window.
How do you quantify fibrosis?
A quantitative approach for fibrosis scoring is the measurement of the collagen proportional area (CPA), which is the ratio of the collagen area to the hepatic tissue area in microscopy liver biopsy images using digital image analysis (DIA) techniques.
How do you quantify IHC staining?
You need to convert the intensity numbers in the Results window to Optical Density (OD) numbers with the following formula: OD = log (max intensity/Mean intensity), where max intensity = 255 for 8-bit images. This will quantify the average darkness of the image due to DAB signal.
What does reticulin stain for?
Stain of reticulin is a staining that stains the reticulinic fibers of the stroma and makes it possible to specify the architecture of the tumors (as for example the follicular architecture). It is very useful in cases where the tumor is necrotic.
How do you quantify cell staining?
If your are interested in whole cell staining: use imageJ to outline cells (manually or by thresholding; there are also plugins) and measure integrated intensity. Do this for multiple cells to obtain average values for the cell population in each group. Select a ROI between cells, quantify and subtract as background.
What is picrosirius red stain?
Picrosirius red (PSR) staining is a commonly used histological technique to visualize collagen in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. PSR stained collagen appears red in light microscopy.
What is an IHC H-score?
The H-score captures both the intensity and the proportion of the biomarker of interest from the IHC image and comprises values between 0 and 300, thereby offering a dynamic range to quantify biomarker abundance.
