▤ Summary

Molecular Designs has released the Simplicity Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel, which can identify nucleic acids from 16 different organisms using multiplex PCR and a single sample. Researchers can also use the platform to select optimal cancer models for in vitro and in vivo validation studies, develop patient stratification strategies for clinical trials, and prioritize candidates in compound libraries and/or assess the value of intellectual property, the company said. They feature functionally validated primer sets targeting the highly variable third complementary determining regions (CDR3) of the heavy chain of the respective T- and B-cell receptors, along with reagents for multiplex PCR, yielding NGS-ready libraries. Subsequent sequencing and analysis identify antigen-activated clonotypes, which can provide insight into the adaptive immune response and is useful for a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications, the company said. These large and diverse libraries are made of up to 10,000 gene fragment combinations, enabling high-throughput screening and characterization of novel and known sequence variants for therapeutic discovery, Twist said.
