Background: Immunophenotyping is essential for diagnostics of cutaneous lymphomas. In this regard we present a skin tissue-adapted application platform of MELC technology.Patients and Methods: This topoproteome analysis allows the subcellular colocalization of at least n = 100 epitopes in situ. For this purpose the specimen is processed by a Toponome Imaging Cycler (R) for a n-fold repetition of the following cycle: 1) staining with a fluorophore-labeld antibody, 2) fluorescence-imaging, and 3) photobleaching. Overlay and binarization of fluorescence images lead to combinatorial molecular phenotypes (CMP), which relate to a pixel or microtopographic unit (450 x 450 nm(2), 20x objective). Skin biopsies were derived from patients with mycosis fungoides (patch/plaque lesions), psoriasis, atopic eczema and from healthy skin donors.Results: In orientation to the WHO-EORTC-classification of cutaneous lymphomas a MELC-library of 23 markers was established. According to an inaugurative detailed procedure the CMP frequency was determined in a normalization to 100 mu m horizontal skin width. By a TopoMiner strategy mycosis fungoides could be separated from the other states with a maximum of significance (p
