Publication number: 20240018596Abstract: The invention relates to means and methods for assessing clonal immunoglobulin (IG)/T cell receptor (TR) gene rearrangements in a clinical, diagnostic and/or research setting. Provided is a quality control composition comprising a mixture of genomic DNA isolated from a set of nine cultured cell lines, said set comprising the B cell lines ALL/MIK (ALL), Raji (Burkitt lymphoma), REH (B cell precursor ALL), TMM (CML-BC/EBV+B-LCL), TOM-1 (B cell precursor ALL), WSU-NHL (B cell lymphoma) and the T cell lines JB6 (ALCL), Karpas299 (ALCL) and MOLT-13 (ALL), or wherein one or more cell lines of said set is replaced with one or more other cell line(s) comprising the same IG/TR gene rearrangements. Also provided is a quality control composition consisting of essentially equimolar amounts of genomic DNA isolated from healthy human thymus, healthy human tonsil and healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2020Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Monika Ursula Helga Brüggemann, Michaela Kotrová, Henrik Knecht, Nikolaos Darzentas, Giovanni Cazzaniga, Frédéric Bernard Louis Davi, Jacobus Johannes Maria Van Dongen, Ramón Garcia-Sanz, David Gonzalez De Castro, Patricia Johanna Theodore Groenen, Michael Andreas Hummel, Elizabeth Anne Macintyre-Davi, Konstantinos Stamatopoulos, Christiane Pott, Jan Trka, Anthonie Willem Langerak

Patent number: 11571457Abstract: The invention relates to the field of minimal residual disease (MRD) diagnostics, which is progressively more applied for the evaluation of treatment effectiveness in patients with a hematological malignancy, such as B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM). Provided are unique reagent compositions with carefully selected and thoroughly tested combinations of antibodies, for ?8-color flow cytometric stainings as well as for 10-color and 12-color flow cyometric stainings, which can reach sensitivities of at least 10?4, even down to 10?5. Also provided are diagnostic kits and methods for detecting MRD.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Erasmus University Medical Center RotterdamInventors: Jacobus Johannes Maria van Dongen, José Alberto Orfao de Matos Correia e Vale, Juan Alejandro Flores Montero, Julia Maria Almeida Parra, Vincent Henricus Johannes Van der Velden, Sebastian Böttcher, Anthonie Willem Langerak, Ester Mejst{hacek over (r)}íková, Tomasz Szczepański, Matthias Ritgen, Paulo Jorge Monteiro Da Silva Lucio
