The diagnostics firm is conducting a 1,000-person study to find T cell profiles associated with the immune response to COVID-19 and recovery from the disease.
The immune sequencing firm has engaged the FDA in discussions over how to get regulatory approval for one test for several seemingly different diseases.
The plan focuses on five scientific priorities to advance research and development over the next five years, including developing diagnostic tests for the diseases.
The blood test screens individual blood donations for four common species of the parasite Babesia, which can cause anemia and other potentially fatal conditions.
The immune sequencing firm is working on kit-ifying its two existing tests, as well as developing a second clinical test and expanding the label for clonoSeq.
The clearance marks the first time that the tests have been indicated to follow a new paradigm in which two enzyme immunoassay tests can be conducted concurrently or sequentially, the FDA said.
