title: OMAP-18: Organ Mapping Antibody Panel (OMAP) for Multiplexed Antibody-Based Imaging of human lymph node with Cell DIVE-IBEX, v1.1

description: OMAP-18 was developed for Cell DIVE imaging of human FFPE lymph node tissue using the IBEX dye inactivation protocol<br>(Gerdes et al. 2013; Radtke et al. 2020; 2022). This combined approach, termed Cell DIVE-IBEX, uses fluorophores<br>compatible with IBEX to enable complete signal elimination between cycles without tissue loss. The panel includes 3<br>imaging cycles with 11 primary antibodies, 4 secondary antibodies, a streptavidin conjugate for detecting biotinylated<br>KI67 (Thermo Fisher S21384), and the nuclear stain Hoechst for image alignment and segmentation. OMAP-18 maps 15<br>anatomical structures and 11 cell types found in the ASCT+B Lymph Node v1.1 table (Jorgensen, Radtke, and Rodriguez<br>2021). It is a focused version of OMAP-1 (Radtke 2023), retaining key markers to detect malignancy-driven changes in<br>lymph node architecture and immune composition. It excludes markers needed for deep phenotyping of T regulatory/helper<br>cells, fibroblastic reticular cells, dendritic cells, and endothelial subtypes but is expandable. The panel includes<br>the clinically preferred BCL2 antibody clone (SP66), enhancing its utility for translational studies. Antigen<br>retrieval was performed on a Leica Bond system using a dual-step protocol: Epitope Retrieval Solution 1 (pH 6) for 30<br>minutes followed by Epitope Retrieval Solution 2 (pH 9) for 30 minutes at 100°C. Complete protocol details, antibody<br>application steps, and analysis workflows can be accessed via the IBEX Imaging Community (Yaniv et al. 2025). B cell<br>follicle and immune community analyses are described in the companion paper (Radtke et al. 2024). Representative<br>datasets are available at the Image Data Resource (https://idr.openmicroscopy.org, project-3001). Further<br>documentation, training, and community resources are hosted in the IBEX Knowledge-Base (Radtke et al. 2025; Yaniv et<br>al. 2025).<br><br>**Bibliography:**<br><br>* Gerdes, Michael J., et al. 2013. “Highly Multiplexed Single-Cell Analysis of Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Cancer Tissue.” *PNAS* 110 (29): 11982–87. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1300136110.<br>* Image Data Resource. 2025. “Webclient for Image Data Resource.” https://idr.openmicroscopy.org/webclient/?show=project-3001.<br>* Jorgensen, Marda, Andrea J.
