Details

In immuno-oncology, the goal is to enable a patient’s immune system to locate and eliminate cancerous cells. 

The immune system may normally protect against cancer – except, when cancers manage to evade it – since

immunocompromised individuals have a higher likelihood of developing cancer. Checkpoint inhibitors, which 

have recently improved the prognosis for a significant number of cancer patients, work by blocking inhibitory 

molecules such as PD-L1 and CTLA-4 that may be allowing cancers to evade the adaptive immune system. 

However, by taking the brakes off the immune system, the use of checkpoint inhibitors is associated with a 

significant risk of developing autoimmune disease. Additionally, frequently checkpoint inhibitors are not 

effective. 

In order to maximize the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors, it is beneficial to identify patients who are 

likely to respond to their use. Since the adaptive immune system can detect changes to proteins, it is thought 

that the number of somatic mutations that lead to such changes may be correlated with efficacy. The metric of 

non-silent somatic mutations per megabase of coding DNA has been termed tumor mutational burden (TMB), 

which has shown some correlation to the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. Assessments of TMB are being added 

to many NGS assays to enable their use for patient selection in I-O clinical trials, and perhaps as companion 

diagnostics to these therapies. However, it is also known that TMB scores can differ significantly between assays 

and especially around levels that may be clinical decision points. 

To improve and harmonize the measurement of TMB, we have generated and characterized tumor-normal human 

cell lines with different TMB scores by whole exome sequencing, for use in validating targeted NGS panel-based

TMB assays, and as controls for TMB measurements in I-O clinical trial projects. 

The TMB reference materials are formated as genomic DNA (purified mix) and/or FFPE (requires extraction). 

gDNA TMB Reference Standards: 

Reference standards are made from human lung cancer cell lines and their matched “normal” cell lines from

peripheral blood of the same patients.
