  • Publication number: 20210223257
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for determining microsatellite instability. In some embodiments, the disclosed methods and systems are used for determining whether a cancer patient has high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). MSI-H patients have remarkably good responses to immunotherapy, such as checkpoint inhibitors immunotherapy. Therefore, the disclosed methods and systems can be used for identifying MSI-H and thus, patients as candidates for immunotherapy. In turn, the disclosed methods and systems can be used to predict responsiveness to immunotherapy. In some embodiments, the methods further include providing an immunotherapy to the MSI-H patient. Also disclosed are vaccines and compositions.

  • Publication number: 20200256861
    Abstract: Health is a complex state that represents the continuously changing outcome of nearly all human activities and interactions. The invention provides efficient methods and arrays for health monitoring, diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care. The invention monitors a broad range of identifying molecules from a subject, such as circulating antibodies, and the invention evaluates a pattern of binding of those molecules to a peptide array. The characterization of the pattern of binding of such molecules to a peptide array with the methods of the invention provide a robust measure of a state of health of a subject.

  • Patent number: 10422793
    Abstract: The invention provides arrays of compound for use in profiling samples. The arrays include compounds bind to components of the samples at relatively low affinities. The avidity of compounds binding to components of the samples can be increased by forming arrays such that multivalent components of the samples (e.g., antibodies or cells) can bind to more than one molecule of a compound at the same time. When a sample is applied to an array under such conditions, the compounds of the array bind to component(s) of the sample with significantly different avidities generating a profile characteristic of the sample.

  • Publication number: 20190234962
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, the present invention provides methods and compositions to measure unbiasedly the immune health status of an individual or population. A number of measures, including Shannon's entropy, can provide a measure of the diversity and disorder in the population of antibodies in a subject. The measure can be established by reacting the population of antibodies in a subject's blood with a complex surface, such as a peptide array.
