  • Patent number: 11935629
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for identifying a set of fluorophore-biomolecule reagent pairs for characterizing a sample by flow cytometry. Methods according to certain embodiments include calculating a spectral spillover spreading parameter for a plurality of fluorophores, pairing each fluorophore with a biomolecule that is specific for a biomarker of a cell in the sample to generate a plurality of fluorophore-biomolecule reagent pairs, generating an adjusted spillover spreading matrix for the fluorophore-biomolecule reagent pairs based on the spectral spillover spreading parameter of each fluorophore and a biomarker classification parameter and identifying an optimal set of fluorophore-biomolecule reagent pairs based on the calculated spillover spreading values from the adjusted spillover spreading matrix. Systems and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7223535
    Abstract: Synthetic peptides immunoreactive with hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies are provided. The peptides are useful as laboratory reagents to detect or quantify HAV antibodies in biological samples in clinical or research-based assays and for inducing an immune response to HAV when administered to a human or animal. The peptides contain antigenic epitopes, modified antigenic epitopes or combinations of epitopes of the major structural capsid polypeptides or non-structural polypeptides of HAV and contain one or more molecules of the amino acid glutamine (Q) at the carboxyl end of the peptide, which enhances immunoreactivity and immunogenicity, particularly IgM antibody reactivity.
