  • Publication number: 20190352723
    Abstract: A method for analyzing cell free DNA (cfDNA) from the bloodstream of a cancer patient is provided. In some embodiments, the method may comprise sequencing at least part of the coding sequences of TP53 and KRAS in a sample of the cfDNA, analyzing the sequences to identify nucleotide transversions in the coding sequences of the genes, relative to reference sequences of the genes. In some embodiments, the method may comprise counting the total number of identified nucleotide transversions. The presence of nucleotide transversions indicates that the patient will be more responsive to the immune checkpoint inhibitor, whereas a decreased number of transversions or no transversios indicates that the patient will be less responsive to the immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Under normal pressure, the method can be used to directly leach copper-nickel sulfide ore concentrate or low-grade nickel matte obtained by matte smelting of copper-nickel sulfide ore. In the leaching process, the leaching rate of nickel, cobalt and iron is up to 99% or more, and copper is hardly leached, whereby the deep separation of copper from elements such as nickel and cobalt is directly realized, and the huge system for copper-nickel separation in the conventional process is omitted. Moreover, noble metals are not leached, and almost all of them remain in the leaching slag with copper, so the destiny is simple.
