  • Patent number: 11937880
    Abstract: A system and method of monitoring a procedure includes a medical device. The medical device includes an elongate device including a flexible body, a tracking system disposed along at least a portion of the flexible body, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the tracking system. The one or more processors are configured to receive a route to a target location in an anatomy, determine one or more features of the route based on a first anatomical representation, generate a reduced anatomical representation based on the one or more features of the route, receive real-time position information from the tracking system, associate the real-time position information to the reduced anatomical representation, and dynamically display the reduced anatomical representation with the associated real-time position information.

  • Publication number: 20210381050
    Abstract: Methods are provided for predicting a subject's infection status using high-throughput T cell receptor sequencing to match the subject's TCR repertoire to a known set of disease-associated T cell receptor sequences. The methods of the present invention may be used to predict the status of several infectious agents in a single sample from a subject. Methods are also provided for predicting a subject's HLA status using high-throughput immune receptor sequencing.

  • Publication number: 20170335386
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for measuring adaptive immune receptor (T cell receptor and immunoglobulin) diversity are described, and find uses for assessing immunocompetence and other purposes. Means are provided for assessing the effects of diseases or conditions that compromise the immune system and of therapies aimed to reconstitute it. Lymphoid (B- and T-cell) adaptive immune receptor diversity is quantified by calculating the number of uniquely rearranged, CDR3-containing immunoglobulin (Ig) or T-cell receptor (TCR) variable region-encoding genes from sample cells such as blood cells.
