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.
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.
Learn how reference standards play a key role in increasing and confirming the accuracy of diagnostic testing, thus bringing us closer to precision medicine and targeted therapy.
