B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is the fifth most common cancer in this country with rapidly increasing incidence rates worldwide. Approximately 60% of NHL's are characterized by the t(14;18)(q32;q21) chromosomal translocation. These tumors are treated by chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation; however, many patients relapse and become refractory to treatment. Diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up are currently performed by either karyotype analysis, Southern blotting, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Problems with specificity, sensitivity and low throughput, however, underscore the need for a precise, reliable, rapid method to detect tumor cells, especially in the post-treatment set up. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has emerged as a promising method for detecting cancer cells. However, conventional FISH is a manual, labor intensive operation, making detection of cancer cells, which are typically present in low frequencies in patient samples, difficult. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The proposed assay will provide a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for monitoring remission and therapy for a significant number of B-Cell Lymphoma patients. The estimated annual revenue potential is $183M.

B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）是该国第五大癌症，全球发病率迅速升高。 NHL的大约60％的特征是T（14; 18）（Q32; Q21）染色体易位。这些肿瘤通过化学疗法和骨髓移植进行治疗。但是，许多患者复发并成为治疗的难治性。诊断和治疗后随访目前是通过核型分析，南部印迹或聚合酶链反应（PCR）进行的。然而，特异性，灵敏度和低吞吐量的问题强调了对检测肿瘤细胞的精确，可靠，快速方法的需求，尤其是在治疗后设置中。荧光原位杂交（FISH）已成为检测癌细胞的有前途的方法。但是，常规鱼是一种手动劳动密集型操作，可检测癌细胞，通常以低频存在于患者样本中，这很困难。拟议的商业应用：拟议的测定法将为大量B细胞淋巴瘤患者提供快速，敏感和准确的方法来监测缓解和治疗。估计的年收入潜力为1.83亿美元。
