NanoString nCounter PanCancer Profiles

NanoString Technologies has expanded its 3D Biology portfolio with the launch of its nCounter PanCancer profiles, seven new gene expression panels. Each panel is designed to interrogate a focused area of cancer biology, including adaptive immunity, cancer metabolism, intracellular signaling, cellular profiling, Wnt pathway, innate immunity, and DNA damage and repair. Each 192-gene panel includes 180 topic-specific probes and 12 universal housekeeping genes. The panels may be combined with nCounter protein expression modules to enable a deeper view of biology through simultaneous analysis of gene and protein expression in key areas of interest to cancer biologists including immuno-oncology researchers, NanoString said in a statement.
