INVIVOSCRIBE RELEASES THE LYMPHOTRACK DX TRB ASSAY AS CE-MARKED IVD KIT, COMPLETING THE NGS CLONALITY SUITE FOR THE MISEQ PLATFORM

SAN DIEGO, May 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Invivoscribe Technologies Inc., a global company with decades of experience providing clonality and biomarker test solutions for the fields of oncology and personalized molecular medicine, today announced the release of the LymphoTrack® Dx TRB Assay for the Illumina® MiSeq® platform, a CE-marked next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay kit for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. Invivoscribe is the only company offering a complete suite of CE-marked NGS clonality assays designed to assess clonality for both diagnostic and tracking purposes. The LymphoTrack Dx TRB Assay for the ThermoFisher Scientific® Ion PGM™ and Ion S5™ instruments will be released later this year.

Leukemias and lymphomas generally originate from the malignant transformation of individual lymphoid cells, causing the vast majority of lymphoid malignancies to share one or more cell-specific or “clonal” rearrangements. The LymphoTrack Dx TRB assay identifies clonal TRB Vβ-(Dβ-)Jβ rearrangement sequences, and the accompanying LymphoTrack Dx bioinformatics software provides a clear summary of the frequency distribution. These clonal sequences can be used to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in longitudinal studies, which track the disease as well as the effectiveness of therapies aimed towards their eradication.
