Title:
METHOD FOR PREDICTING EFFICACY OF IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITOR ON TEST SUBJECT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/190379
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This method for predicting efficacy of an immune checkpoint inhibitor on a test subject comprises: (a) a step for collecting cells from a blood sample of a test subject; (b1) a step for bringing the cells into contact with a primary antibody capable of recognizing PD-L1 and further bringing the cells into contact with a secondary antibody which is capable of recognizing the primary antibody and which is labeled with a fluorescent dye, or a step for bringing the cells into contact with an antibody capable of recognizing PD-L1 and labeled with a fluorescent dye; and (c) a step for irradiating the cells with excitation light for the fluorescent dye so as to detect fluorescence emitted from the cells, wherein in the case when the cells are PD-L1-positive cancer cells, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is determined to have high efficacy on the test subject. Thus the present invention is configured to enable predicting efficacy of an immune checkpoint inhibitor without imposing too much burden on a test subject.
