Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) displays variable levels of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. The quantity and localization of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), specific functional TIL subsets (e.g. , CD8+), and biomarker-expressing cells (e.g., PD-L1+) may have prognostic and predictive value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the robustness and utility of computer-assisted image analysis tools to quantify and localize immunohistochemistry-based biomarkers within the tumor microenvironment on a tissue microarray (TMA). We stained a 91-patient OTSCC TMA with antibodies targeting CD3, CD4, CD8, FOXP3, IDO, and PD-L1. Cell populations were segmented into epithelial (tumor) or stromal compartments according to a mask derived from a pan-cytokeratin stain. Definiens Tissue Studio was used to enumerate marker-positive cells or to quantify the staining intensity. Automated methods were validated against manual tissue segmentation, cell count, and stain intensity quantification. Univariate associations of cell count and stain intensity with smoking status, stage, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were determined. Our results revealed that the accuracy of automated tissue segmentation was dependent on the distance of the tissue section from the cytokeratin mask and the proportion of the tissue containing tumor vs. stroma. Automated and manual cell counts and stain intensities were highly correlated (Pearson coefficient range: 0.46-0.90; p
