T-cell receptors (TCRs) are crucial components of T cell immunity, enabling the detection and subsequent elimination of abnormal, cancerous and infected cells. Dysfunctional T cell receptor signaling can lead to various immune deficiency or autoimmune diseases. In cancer treatment the study and modification of T cell receptor signaling is important for CAR-T cell therapy as well as modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Modulating T cell activation can be important to avoid rejection of organ or stem cell transplants by the immune response.
Key steps to successfully test, and monitor patients by liquid biopsy as an alternative to solid tumor.
Isolation of genomic DNA from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues is a critical step for molecular diagnostic (MDx) assays. Here we investigate extraction of DNA from FFPE using five comparable methods.
We learn of several reasons why cell line derived standards have a distinct advantage on other source materials when it comes to NGS oncology assays.
