Using spatial biology tools to characterize COVID-19 placentitis
A proportion of maternal COVID-19 infections are complicated by COVID-19 placentitis, an inflammatory response that often leads to fetal death. However, there has been limited research to-date on the processes that drive this condition and its underlying pathology.
In a sponsored symposium, Matthew Pugh, FRCPath, of the University of Birmingham will discuss how his team used the Lunaphore COMET™ system to conduct a multiplex immunohistochemistry analysis of 30 markers to characterize the processes that drive COVID-19 placentitis. Utilizing spatial biology methods, the present study found that COVID-19 placentitis is characterized by direct infection of the villous trophoblast, histiocytic intervillousitis and associated CXCL10 & interferon mediated inflammation1 .
