Patent number: 8885913Abstract: An automated identification of the types of white blood cells in a blood sample facilitates the manual identification of cancerous or other abnormal blood cells in the sample. Classifiers are predetermined for each type of white blood cell and subsequently used to automatically process images of cells in a sample stained with a nuclear dye or stain. The classifiers each comprise a linear weighted combination of morphometric and photometric features previously selected for white blood cells that were identified using monoclonal antibody stains. Red blood cells and excess fluid are removed from a sample being processed upstream of an imaging region of the imaging system. A plurality of different types of images are produced for each cell by the imaging system enabling automated identification of the white blood cells. Images of any cells not thus identified are manually reviewed to detect cancerous or abnormal cells.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Amnis CorporationInventors: David A. Basiji, William E. Ortyn, Philip J. Morrissey, Vidya Venkatachalam

Patent number: 8660332Abstract: Multimodal or multispectral images of cells comprising a population of cells are simultaneously collected. Photometric and/or morphometric image features identifiable in the images are used to identify differences between first and second populations of cells. The differences can include changes in a relative percentage of different cell types in each population, or a change in a first type of cell present in the first population of cells and the same type of cell in the second population of cells. The changes may be indicative of a disease state, indicative of a relative effectiveness of a therapy, or indicative of a health of the person from whom the cells populations were obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Amnis CorporationInventors: William E. Ortyn, David A. Basiji, Philip J. Morrissey, Thaddeus C. George, Brian E. Hall, Cathleen A. Zimmerman, David J. Perry

Patent number: 5162111Abstract: Subjects suffering from infectious diseases are treated by direct administration of therapeutically-effective quantities of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor employed by itself or in conjunction with an antibiotic or a sulfonamide or other immunologically effective therapeutic agents. Homogeneous granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor for use in treatment in bacterial diseases is prepared by recombinant DNA techniques and then purified to homogeneity by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography so that it may be safely administered to subject's suffering from infectious diseases.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1986Date of Patent: November 10, 1992Inventors: Kenneth H.
