  • Publication number: 20240331864
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for cancer diagnosis, comprising: a) selectively sequencing polymers of a biological sample according to at least one target gene site by translocating the polymers through nanopores of a nanopore sequencing system, including: (i) analyzing an initial nucleotide sequence of a first polymer of the biological sample while the first polymer is translocating through a nanopore of the nanopore sequencing system to determine whether the initial nucleotide sequence corresponds to the at least one target gene site; and (ii) continuing the sequencing of the first polymer to obtain measurement data of the first polymer only if the initial nucleotide sequence of the first polymer corresponds to the at least one target gene site: b) determining, based on the measurement data, a biological state of a nucleotide sequence of the first polymer corresponding to the at least one target gene site; and c) classifying a cancer using a classification algorithm based o

  • Publication number: 20170254803
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for detecting antigen presentation via antigen presenting molecules such as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II. The invention deploys a first binding agent specific for the antigen epitope and a second binding agent specific for the antigen presenting molecule. The binding agents of the invention are coupled to proximity probes which upon antigen presentation elicit a detectable signal. The method of the invention allows detecting antigen presentation via MHC in-vitro and in a tissue sample in-situ. Thus the method of the present invention finds application as a new diagnostic tool, for example in the diagnosis of various diseases such as infectious diseases, immunological disorders, in particular autoimmune diseases, and proliferative disorders such as cancer.
