A new software system automatically segments and counts cells in immunocytochemistry images, improving analysis reproducibility and speed for cytokine DNA probe studies in pigs. This automated cell counting enhances diagnostic accuracy for parasitic infections.

Area of Science:

  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Bioinformatics
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Immunocytochemistry is crucial for analyzing stained tissue samples, but manual cell counting is time-consuming and prone to variability.
  • Accurate cell counting is essential for quantifying cellular responses to treatments, such as cytokine DNA probes in parasitic infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated software system for accurate and efficient cell segmentation and counting in immunocytochemical analyses.
  • To improve the reproducibility and reduce processing time for analyzing large batches of tissue sample images.
  • To calculate a reaction index for assessing cellular responses to cytokine DNA probes in pigs infected with Taenia solium.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an automatic color image segmentation and cell counting software system.

  • Employed a fast K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier for color segmentation.
  • Utilized watershed segmentation combined with edge detection for individual cell isolation and labeling.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved a mean true positive rate of 90.2% for positive cells and 85.4% for negative cells.
    • Reported mean false positive rates of 9.6% for positive cells and 6.6% for negative cells.
    • The automated analysis yielded a mean reaction index error of 5.35% with processing times of 10 seconds per image.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed automated system significantly enhances the reproducibility of immunocytochemical analysis.
    • The software provides an efficient solution for processing large image datasets, reducing analysis time.
    • This automated approach offers a reliable method for quantifying cellular responses in parasitic disease research.
