NanoString and Abcam Expand Collaboration to Advance Spatial Multiomics Research

Inclusion of Abcam validated antibodies in CosMx curated protein panel provides the first high-plex spatial multiomic solution at single-cell and subcellular resolution

Data from the CosMx human immuno-oncology 64-plex protein panel will be presented at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer Conference (SITC)

NanoString Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTG), a leading provider of life science tools for discovery and translational research, and Abcam (AIM: ABC; NASDAQ: ABCM), a global life science company working together with researchers to advance science and enable faster breakthroughs, today announced the expansion of their long-standing relationship with a new agreement to co-market Abcam antibodies for NanoString’s high-plex spatial multiomic solutions.

Under the terms of the agreement, Abcam RabMAb™ recombinant antibodies will be commercialized as part of the first 64-plex protein panel for NanoString’s CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI). Jointly developed and validated by NanoString and Abcam, the human immuno-oncology panel is the first on the market to combine high-plex spatial proteomic and transcriptomic analyses at single-cell and subcellular resolution. This provides unprecedented insights into immune cells, tumors and their neighborhood and aims to accelerate immune-oncology research supporting a better understanding of clinical response and therapeutic resistance.

“We have partnered with Abcam to facilitate access to their broad portfolio of high-quality, validated antibodies to augment our CosMx protein panels,” said Brad Gray, president and CEO of NanoString. “This relationship will further expand the depth and breadth of spatial biology offerings on NanoString instrumentation into new frontiers of human biology down to single-cell resolution— a true revolution in the spatial biology field.”

“We are excited to enter a new phase of our relationship with NanoString. For the past six years, our teams have worked together to accelerate the development of novel technologies for the biomarker and clinical research community,” said John Baker, SVP of Marketing of Abcam. “We are hopeful that these innovations will unlock the full potential of spatial biology and will ultimately help improve care for people with cancer.”

NanoString will host a symposium at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer Conference (SITC) on Nov. 10 from 11:40 AM to 1:10 PM EST and will highlight the CosMx protein capability co-developed with Abcam. In the coming months, NanoString and Abcam will co-host webinars and events to share insight on spatial biology in immuno-oncology and other applications such as neuroscience.

About NanoString’s CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager:

The CosMx™ SMI is the newest product in NanoString’s industry-leading spatial analysis tools portfolio, joining the GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The CosMx SMI extends spatial research to single cell and subcellular resolution across the entire tissue section. The platform currently enables imaging and quantification of 1,000 RNA and 64 protein targets in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) and fresh frozen tissue. The commercial CosMx SMI instruments are expected to ship later this year. In the meantime, researchers can apply the power of SMI to their tissue samples through the SMI Technology Access Program service provided by NanoString.
