  • Publication number: 20190360051
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of administering immunotherapy that modulates an interaction between PD-i and its ligand, to a cancer patient, based on tumor-educated gene expression profiles obtained from anucleated cells. The invention further provides methods of typing a sample of a subject for the presence or absence of a cancer, based on tumor-educated gene expression profiles obtained from anucleated cells. The invention further provides a method for obtaining a biomarker panel for typing of a sample from a subject using particle swarm optimization-based algorithms.

  • Patent number: 10174364
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of analyzing a blood sample of a subject for the presence of a disease marker, said method comprising the steps of a) extracting nucleic acid from anucleated blood cells in said blood sample to provide an anucleated blood cells-extracted nucleic acid fraction, and b) analyzing said anucleated blood cells-extracted nucleic acid fraction for the presence of a disease marker, wherein said disease marker is a disease-specific mutation in a gene of a cell of said subject, or wherein said disease marker is a disease-specific expression profile of genes of a cell of said subject.

  • Patent number: 9912531
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for recording data or for transmitting stimulation data, which are transmitted in Ethernet-based networks of vehicles. A method for recording data is described, wherein the data are transmitted from a transmitting control unit to a receiving control unit of a vehicle via a communication system of the vehicle. The communication system comprises an Ethernet network, wherein the data are conducted from a transmission component to a reception component of the Ethernet network via a transmission path, and wherein the data are to be recorded at a logging component of the Ethernet network, which does not lie on the transmission path. The method comprises the configuration of an intermediate component of the Ethernet network, which lies on the transmission path, to transmit a copy of the data as logging data to the logging component; and the recording of the logging data at the logging component.

  • Publication number: 20140256590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of analysing a blood sample of a subject carrying a foetus for the presence of a foetal disease or condition marker, said method comprising the steps of a) extracting nucleic acid from anucleated blood cells, preferably thrombocytes, in said blood sample to provide an anucleated blood cell-extracted nucleic acid fraction, and b) analysing said anucleated blood cell-extracted nucleic acid fraction for the presence of a foetal disease or condition marker, wherein said foetal disease or condition marker is a nucleic acid of a foetus, or wherein said foetal disease or condition marker is a foetal disease or condition-specific expression profile of genes of a cell of said foetus.
