Figure 1.
A custom algorithm was created to identify and quantitate PCK+ve cells in immunohistochemically stained samples. (A) PCK+ve and PCK−ve cells were distinguished based on DAB levels. (B) Representative images of PCK+ve cells (insert 1) and PCK−ve cells (insert 2) are shown. (C) InForm output had a high correlation with manual counting (r2 = 0.9202, p < 0.0001, n = 14 FOVs). (D) Comparative images of cells counted manually (red indicates PCK+ve cells, green indicates nuclei of cells that are PCK−ve), and with InForm (green indicates all nuclei counted by InForm, red indicates PCK+ve nuclei). Scale bar 200 μm. ***p < 0.0001.
