Publication number: 20170089814Abstract: The present invention recognizes that diagnosis and prognosis of many conditions can depend on the enrichment of rare cells, especially tumor cells, from a complex fluid sample such as a blood sample. In particular, the present invention is directed to methods and compositions for detecting a non-hematopoietic cell, e.g., a non-hematopoietic tumor cell, in a blood sample via, inter alia, removing red blood cells (RBCs) from a blood sample using a non-centrifugation procedure, removing white blood cells (WBCs) from said blood sample to enrich a non-hematopoietic cell, if any, from said blood sample; and assessing the presence, absence and/or amount of said enriched non-hematopoietic cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Applicant: AVIVA BIOSCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: Ping LIN, Douglas T. YAMANISHI, George WALKER, Junquan XU, Mingxian HUANG, Guoliang TAO, Lei WU, Xiaobo WANG, Joe OUYANG, Jing CHENG, Jia XU
