  • Measuring and monitoring of cell clonality
    Patent number: 9193997
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the detection and analysis of clonality in a cell population, where parallel sequencing is applied to a nucleic acid sample obtained from the cell population, optionally a population of lymphocytes. Replicate samples are amplified, and sequenced, where identification of coincident sequences in two or more replicates is indicative of clonal expansion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 24, 2015
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
