Thermo Scientific™ Oncomine™ TCR Beta-SR Assay, DNA

The Oncomine TCR Beta-SR Assays are robust, targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays designed to accurately identify and measure the clonal expansion of T lymphocytes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples. These assays identify unique T-cell clones through targeting of the diverse complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of the T-cell receptor (TCR) gene locus in genomic DNA or RNA. The nucleotide sequence of the CDR3 region is unique to each T-cell clone and codes for the part of the TCR beta chain that is involved in antigen recognition. This particular assay is for use with DNA samples.

Features

• Compatibility with a vast array of research sample types, including FFPE tissue, fresh-frozen (FF) tissue, whole blood, PBLs, and PBMCs
• No need for DNA extraction from the FFPE samples with the use of Ion AmpliSeq Direct FFPE DNA Kit
• High sensitivity and low limit of detection (LoD) for rare clone identification through dual-barcode indexing
• Efficient workflow with 48-hr sample-to-results time
• Flexible input requirements ranging from 100 ng to 1 µg
• Streamlined and user-friendly informatics solution with multi-sample analysis functionality
