PARR Sensitivity for B-Cell is 90.71% and for T-Cell is 85.45%.
Currently, our services are for canine lymphoma and leukemia. We will be expanding our services to other species and other blood / lymphoid cancers in the near future.
Our proprietary media tubes must be stored in the fridge (36-40° F) before use. Please DO NOT freeze the media tubes.
PARR, which stands for PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangements, is used to discriminate between lymphoma/leukemia and reactive/inflammatory conditions when cytology is equivocal. Our canine PARR assay detects the expansion of B-cell cancer clones by amplifying the VJ region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgH) and detects the expansion of T-cell cancer clones by amplifying a region in the T-cell receptor gamma chain gene.
Current therapy will not affect our AI predictions or immunoprofile results. However, reduction of tumor size caused by therapy may increase the likelihood of service failure due to insufficient cells. In the event of service failure, you will not be billed.
If you do not have our proprietary media tubes handy at the moment, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab
