An invention that adduces cogent evidence to establish that oxygenated dibenzo-α-pyrones (DBPs and their conjugates), the major bioactives of shilajit (Ayurvedic vitalizer), have their origin, at least partly, in EPA and DHA. Earlier research has shown that, in mammals, C-20 PUFAs are metabolized by oxygenases and other enzymes to produce short-lived prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes that bind to specific G-protein-coupled receptors and signal cellular responses, e.g., inflammation, vasodilation, blood pressure, pain etc. But never before it was suggested / shown that C20:5n-3 (and C22:6 n-3) PUFAs, e.g., EPA (and DHA), are transformed into stable aromatic metabolites, DBPs, which elicit a large array of bioactivities in the producer organisms and also control the synthesis and metabolism of arachidonate-derived prostaglandins. The major beneficial effects attributed to EPA and DHA are now found to be largely contributed by DBPs and their aminoacyl conjugates and the dibenzo-α-pyrone-chromoproteins (DCPs). Because of the highly unstable nature of EPA and DHA, when administered, they are metabolized into a large array of uncontrolled products, several of which are systemically undesirable. By contrast, DBPs, because of their stability, perform the biological response modifier (BRM) functions in a directed and sustained way. Many of the biological effects of DBPs described in this invention, were earlier attributed to EPA and DHA,—the precursors of DBPs.

This disclosure concerns methods for evaluating inflammatory cells and modulators of the inflammatory response in tumor tissue and other relevant tissue types. The methods entail: obtaining a tissue sample and processing said tissue sample to produce histologic slides of tissue sections; staining of the tissue sections to identify inflammatory cells and modulators of the inflammatory response; digitizing slides to produce an image of the stained tissue sections; digitally stratifying the tissue sample into tumor and other relevant tissue compartments; and using digital image analysis to quantify cell-based and cell population-based features. The quantification of cell-based and cell population-based features within a tissue compartment of interest is used to develop a summary score of the immune system-tissue compartment of interest interaction. Patient stratification and selection as candidates for a therapeutic approach is ultimately based on the summary score value.
