A Discrete Gene Signature Is a Diagnostic and Predictive Biomarker for Kidney Transplant Rejection
A genetic signature comprising two messenger RNA molecules that encode immune system proteins and one noncoding RNA molecule that participates in protein production has been shown to be diagnostic and prognostic of acute cellular rejection in kidney transplants. More...15 Jul 2013
Simplified Exome Mining Technique Identifies Mutated Antigens Recognized by Adoptively Transferred Tumor-Reactive T Cells
Cancer researchers have used advanced exome mapping technology to characterize mutated proteins expressed in patient tumors and then used peptides from these mutant proteins to isolate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes suitable for therapeutic use. More...09 Jul 2013
Immunohistochemistry as Effective as DNA Hybridization for Detecting ALK Rearrangement in Lung Cancer Patients
