Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for detecting CD3 and CD16 in the same sample of a colorectal, head & neck, or lung tumor using immunohistochemical methods using primary antibodies from the same host species and secondary antibodies immunoreactive with antibodies of the host species of the primary antibodies. Methods to denature and block the first primary antibody contacted with the sample are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting therapeutic agents for cancers using next generation sequencing, automated dissection, and/or automated slide stainers are disclosed. Non-responsive regions of a tumor sample having a heterogenous staining pattern for a predictive biomarker are excised using an automated dissection tool. Mutations linked to additional predictive biomarkers are identified in the excised portion of the sample by next generation sequencing. The relevance of the additional predictive biomarker(s) is confirmed by histochemical staining. Therapeutic courses may then be selected on the basis of the staining patterns of the predictive biomarkers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to amplification primers with a universal tag and sequencing primers comprising at least one non-natural nucleobase capable of hybridizing to a complementary non-natural nucleobase. The present invention further relates to amplification methods of nucleic acid amplification and sequencing using an amplification primer with a universal tag and sequencing primers, as well as kits and solid supports comprising such primers and tags.

Abstract: The present application provides methods and systems for detecting both CD3 and CD16 in a sample using immunohistochemical methods, for example when the primary antibodies for CD3 and CD16 are from the same species (e.g., both rabbit antibodies). Methods to denature and block the first primary antibody contacted with the sample are provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and reagents for determining the genotype of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) species present in a test sample. The invention more particularly relates to mixtures of degenerate amplification and sequencing primers, and methods of using such primers, that are complementary to a plurality of HCV species, and are capable of generating nucleotide sequence information for a region of NS5B of HCV that is, for each species, indicative of the type and/or subtype, of the species present in the sample.

Abstract: The generation and validation of a novel monoclonal GREB1 antibody (GREB1ab). Methods for the prognosis, diagnosis, assessment of disease progression, severity and outcome utilize GREB1 molecules as biomarkers. The GREB1 antibody is also a useful tool for investigations focused on the expression, distribution and function of GREB1 in normal and cancer tissues.
