PI 38:3 intensity positively correlates with Ki67+ CD45− CD3− cells in ccRCC biopsies. a Ion image of m/z 887.5620 (PI 38:3) of case RN 211 and selected regions of interest (ROI) of high (H1) and low (L1) ion intensity. b H&E-stained section post-DESI-MSI highlighting ROI of high (H1) and low (L1) PI 38:3. c Composite image of mIF labelling, post-DESI and H&E staining, of Ki67+ (green), CD45+ (yellow), and CD3+ (red) cells and image analysis results of the ROI of high and low PI 38:3 highlighting in green Ki67+ CD45− CD3− cells. d m/z 887.5620 ion intensity of the analyzed ROI. e Percentage of positive cells for each analyzed phenotype amongst the total number of cells in the ROIs. f Logarithmic positive correlation of PI 38:3 average intensity with Ki67+ CD45− CD3.− cells in the analyzed ROI (two-tailed Spearman’s correlation analysis r = 0 0.93, p = 0.0007)
