Innovating gene expression diagnostics at every step
Technology that enables precision medicine for autoimmune disease sufferers.

sample collection


ANALYTICAL PROCESS
This system uses uniquely sized, adjacently binding, chemically reactive probes (S-Probe and L-Probe) to target genes of interest. Upon binding to the RNA target, the adjacent probes spontaneously ligate and reaction products which can be detected using industry standard instrumentation, such as PCR and capillary electrophoresis.
The Modular Immune Profile (MIP) test
DxTerity is developing a modular immune profile (MIP) for patient stratification ahead of clinical trials, longitudinal monitoring of a patients’ immune health, and for characterization of therapy response in clinical trials and investigational studies.
Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus (SLE)
Rheumatoid
Arthritis (RA)
Multiple
Sclerosis (MS)
Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD)
MIP monitors immune response from a drop
of blood
The MIP panel measures a patient’s relative expression of 51 immune system-related genes within 12 immune system expression modules.
Type-1 Interferon (IFN-1) |
|
IFN-1 status is a prognostic factor for disease severity in SLE, including risk of progression to Lupus Nephritis. Many current and developmental therapeutics target IFN-1 and the JAK/STAT pathway and related pathways. |
Type-2 Interferon (IFN-γ) |
|
IFN-γ plays a key role in T-cell differentiation, immunoregulatory, antiviral and anti-tumor activity. This 3-gene module is being evaluated for therapy response and disease activity in SLE, subtyping in RA, and immunotherapy response prediction in cancer. |
B-Cell |
|
Many common immunosuppressive therapies function through a B-cell depletion mechanism including Rituximab, Ocrevus, and Benlysta. The B-cell module can be used to monitor therapeutic response for B-cell depleting therapies. |
Plasmablast/Plasma Cell |
|
This module has been shown to positively correlate with disease activity in SLE and is impacted by B-cell depleting therapies. Measuring these changes may aid clinicians in the early identification of changes in disease activity or potential disease flare. |
Neutrophils/Low Density Granulocytes (LDGs) |
|
Low density granulocytes are a subset of neutrophils that have been implicated in SLE inflammation and disease progression, including promoting organ damage and increased production of Type-1 Interferon. |
T-Cells |
|
The T-cell genes in MIP are looked at individually to help better understand the underlying mechanism of a patient’s autoimmune disease or cancer. |
T-Cell Exhaustion |
|
In chronic autoimmune disease like SLE, the process of T-cell exhaustion helps inhibit immune response, and exhausted T-cell responses have been associated with better outcomes. T-cell exhaustion mechanisms and markers also play a major role in cancer and how tumors hide from the immune system. |

Partnering to achieve a common goal
Our clinical research platform
