Advantages of BD Vacutainer® CPT™ Tubes on the Intelligentia™ Immunogenomic Platform, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) April 15, 2020 -- Join Elyse Marriott MS, MLS(ASCP)CM Laboratory Technologist, and Dr. Kirk J Wojno, Chief Medical Officer, both from Immunis.AI, in a live webinar on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 1pm EDT.
In this webinar, the featured speakers will discuss how the BD Vacutainer® CPTTM Mononuclear Cell Preparation Tube is an integral component of Immunis.AI’s novel Intelligentia™ immunogenomic ‘liquid biopsy’ platform and how key features of the BD Vacutainer® CPTTM tube allow for greater sample integrity and higher throughput testing.
Immunis.AI developed the Intelligentia™ platform to enhance early detection and assessment of cancer and other diseases. Their patented approach measures the gene expression of purified populations of phagocytic (CD14+) immune cells and non-phagocytic (CD2+) lymphocytes, using each patient’s CD2+ cells as his/her own internal control. Although their patents cover a multi-omic approach, presently they focus on RNA sequencing (RNAseq) to interrogate the differential gene expression of phagocytes and lymphocytes. They apply a process of subtraction-normalization to quantify the RNA expression delta between the two types of blood cells, thus yielding a disease-specific signal of underlying pathology by removing inherent (epi)genomic variability.
This webinar covers the significant challenges associated with the isolation of the immune cells of interest and maintaining sample integrity during transportation to the laboratory, and how the implementation of the BD Vacutainer® CPTTM tube underpinned their successful approach.
