We develop a deep learning approach, in silico immunohistochemistry (IHC), which takes routinely collected histochemical-stained samples as input and computationally generates virtual IHC slide images. We apply in silico IHC to Alzheimer's disease samples, where several hallmark changes are conventionally identified using IHC staining across many regions of the brain. In silico IHC computationally identifies neurofibrillary tangles, β-amyloid plaques, and neuritic plaques at a high spatial resolution directly from the histochemical images, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of between 0.88 and 0.92. In silico IHC learns to identify subtle cellular morphologies associated with these lesions and can generate in silico IHC slides that capture key features of the actual IHC. Deep learning-based computational processing of routine histochemical samples Identification of features conventionally requiring immunohistochemical stains Apply in silico IHC to identify hallmark changes of Alzheimer's disease Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used widely across diseases to identify proteins of interest and aid disease diagnosis. However, IHC is time consuming and expensive to prepare at a large scale. For evaluating the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), several hallmark changes must be identified via IHC staining across many regions of the brain. The cost of preparing many samples with IHC staining for AD has been a major barrier to large genomic-endophenotype studies. As a result, research and diagnosis of AD and other diseases would benefit from the ability to identify these proteins without the need for IHC. He et al. develop in silico IHC, a deep learning-based method that uses routine histochemical stains to identify features that conventionally require more expensive immunohistochemical stains. The method is applied to Alzheimer's disease, where it identifies several hallmark changes that characterize progression of the disease.
