How the Cell Preparation Tube Supported the Development of a Novel RNAseq Methodology
In this webinar, our 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 presentation 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.
