摘要:
The present invention concerns a monoclonal antibody and corresponding hybridoma cells and antigens suitable for isolating fetal cells from maternal blood. The inventive monoclonal antibody reacts with a surface antigen present on fetal red blood cells including their nucleated precursor cells, but not with surface antigens on adult erythroid cell.

Disclosed herein is a companion diagnostic to predict efficacy of combination lenalidomide and erythropoietin treatment in patients with a erythropoietin (Epo)-refractory, Lower Risk (LR) Non-deletion 5q [Del(5q)] myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS). The method involves assaying erythroid precursors from a biological sample from the subject for a CD45 isoform profile, and treating the subject with a combination of lenalidomide and erythropoietin if the erythroid precursors have a predominance of large CD45RA and CD45RB isoforms compared to small CD45RO isoform.

A method for the enumeration of micronucleated erythrocyte populations while distinguishing platelet and platelet-associated aggregates involves the use of a first fluorescent labeled antibody having binding specificity for a surface marker for reticulocytes, a second fluorescent labeled antibody having binding specificity for a surface marker for platelets, and a nucleic acid staining dye that stains DNA (micronuclei) in erythrocyte populations. Because the fluorescent emission spectra of the first and second fluorescent labeled antibodies do not substantially overlap with one another or with the emission spectra of the nucleic acid staining dye, upon excitation of the labels and dye it is possible to detect the fluorescent emission and light scatter produced by the erythrocyte populations and platelets, and count the number of cells from one or more erythrocyte populations in said sample. In particular, the use of the second antibody prevents interference by platelet-associated aggregates in the scoring procedures.

摘要:
The present invention relates a method for the enumeration of in vivo gene mutation. The method utilizes differential staining of GPI-anchor deficient erythrocyte populations to distinguish between wild-type and pig-a gene mutants. Quantitative analyses can be conducted on erythrocytes and/or reticulocytes, and is based upon fluorescent emission and light scatter following exposure to an excitatory light source. Counting of mutant erythrocytes or reticulcoytes relative to the number of total erythrocytes or reticulocytes can be used to assess the DNA-damaging potential of an exogenous chemical agent, the DNA-damaging potential of an exogenous physical agent, the effects of an exogenous agent which can modify endogenously-induced DNA damage, and the effects of an exogenous agent which can modify exogenously-induced DNA damage. Kits for practicing the invention are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a monoclonal antibody specifically binding to the human FLT3/FLK2 receptor protein. The invention further relates to hybridoma cells producing such an antibody, as well as to a method for generation of such hybridoma cells. The monoclonal antibody is the antibody produced and released by hybridoma cells deposited under No. DSM 2249 at the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) and designated as 4G8B4B12.
