  • Patent number: 11571457
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of minimal residual disease (MRD) diagnostics, which is progressively more applied for the evaluation of treatment effectiveness in patients with a hematological malignancy, such as B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM). Provided are unique reagent compositions with carefully selected and thoroughly tested combinations of antibodies, for ?8-color flow cytometric stainings as well as for 10-color and 12-color flow cyometric stainings, which can reach sensitivities of at least 10?4, even down to 10?5. Also provided are diagnostic kits and methods for detecting MRD.

  • Patent number: 10133962
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for classifying events present in a sample, wherein each event is characterized by a multidimensional set of parameters obtained by means of hardware and/or software, wherein the values of the parameters associated with each event define the position coordinates of said event in a multidimensional space. Said method comprises the following stages: a) clustering the events in groups, b) checking if within each formed group there is a connection between events exceeding a maximum distance threshold, c) calculating the affinity between each pair of previously generated sample groups, d) comparing each sample group with at least one reference group stored in at least one database, e) classifying the sample groups based on the comparisons with the reference groups.
