  • Patent number: 11970787
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, kits, and systems useful in the determination and evaluation of the immune repertoire. In one aspect, target-specific primer panels provide for the effective amplification of sequences of T cell receptor and/or B cell receptor chains with improved sequencing accuracy and resolution over the repertoire. Variable regions associated with the immune cell receptor are resolved to effectively portray clonal diversity of a biological sample and/or differences associated with the immune cell repertoire of a biological sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2024
    Assignee: Life Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Timothy Looney, Geoffrey Lowman, Lifeng Lin
  • Publication number: 20230416810
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, kits, and systems useful in the determination and evaluation of the immune repertoire. In one aspect, target-specific primer panels provide for the effective amplification of sequences of B cell receptor heavy and light chains in a single assay, with improved sequencing accuracy and resolution over the repertoire. Variable regions associated with the immune cell receptor are resolved to effectively portray clonal diversity of a biological sample and/or differences associated with the immune cell repertoire of a biological sample.

  • Publication number: 20230340602
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, kits, and systems useful in the determination and evaluation of the immune repertoire. In one aspect, methods provide for determining convergence of T cell receptor beta and T cell receptor gamma repertoires in samples prior to a treatment and predicting a subject's response to the treatment. In another aspect, methods provide predicting a subject's potential or predisposition to be protected from or vulnerable to an adverse event following a treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230131285
    Abstract: Prediction of a clinical response to a therapy of a subject with an autoimmune disease based on B cell immune repertoire may include determining a plurality of clone frequencies in a biological sample from the subject, wherein the clone frequencies include: IgM, IgD, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, IgM with first somatic hypermutation (SHM) level, IgG1 with second SHM level. A plurality of decision criteria may be applied to features including the plurality of clone frequencies. Each decision criterion applies at least one threshold to a feature, wherein the plurality of decision criteria provides a plurality of output values. The plurality of output values may be summed and a sigmoid transformation may be applied to the summed value to form a prediction value. The prediction value may be compared to a final threshold to identify the subject as a likely responder or non-responder to an autoimmune disease therapy.
