(A) Extensive heterogeneity and distinct spatial distribution of immune cells in paediatric brain tumour microenvironment. Multiplex immunohistochemistry analysis of paediatric high-grade glioma tissue using biomarkers to identify macrophages (CD68), dendritic cells (CD11c), microglia (TMEM119) and proliferating cells (Ki67). DAPI labels all cell nuclei. Tumour infiltrating immune cells are often present in clusters, with macrophages penetrating deeper into tumour cell-rich regions, compared with dendritic cells and microglia. Scale bar is 100µm. (B) Extensive heterogeneity and distinct spatial distribution of T-cells and macrophages in adult brain tumour microenvironment. Multiplex immunohistochemistry analysis of adult glioblastoma tissue using biomarkers to identify tumour cells (CD44), endothelial cells/blood vessels (CD31), T-cells (CD3), macrophages (CD68), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9); DAPI labels all cell nuclei. Tumour infiltrating T-cells are often present in clusters, in close proximity to blood vessels, while macrophages penetrate deeper into tumour cell-rich regions. Scale bar is 200µm.
