    Abstract: There is described herein a method of detecting the presence of DNA from cancer cells in a subject comprising: providing a sample of cell-free DNA from a subject; subjecting the sample to library preparation to permit subsequent sequencing of the cell-free methylated DNA; adding a first amount of filler DNA to the sample, wherein at least a portion of the filler DNA is methylated, then optionally denaturing the sample; capturing cell-free methylated DNA using a binder selective for methylated polynucleotides; sequencing the captured cell-free methylated DNA; comparing the sequences of the captured cell-free methylated DNA to control cell-free methylated DNAs sequences from healthy and cancerous individuals and from individuals with distinct cancer types and subtypes; identifying the presence of DNA from cancer cells if there is a statistically significant similarity between one or more sequences of the captured cell-free methylated DNA and cell-free methylated DNAs sequences from cancerous individuals.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed recombinant T cell receptors capable of binding a gp100 epitope and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules further comprise a second nucleotide sequence, wherein the second nucleotide sequence or the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleotide sequence inhibits the expression of an endogenous TCR. Other aspects of the disclosure are directed to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecule and cells comprising the recombinant TCR, the nucleic acid molecule, or the vector. Still other aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods of using the same. In some embodiments, the methods comprise treating a cancer in a subject in need thereof.

    Abstract: A method staging of knee osteoarthritis (OA) comprising a) obtaining a substantially cell-free sample of blood plasma or blood serum from a subject with osteoarthritis; b) detecting a presence of or measuring a level of one or more miRNAs selected from hsa-miR-335-3p, hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-671-3p, hsa-miR-1260b, hsa-miR-191-3p, hsa-miR-335-5p, hsa-miR-543, novel_miRNA_1 (gucuggcucaggguuggg) (SEQ ID NO: 1), novel_miRNA_2 (ucccuguucgggcgccacu) (SEQ ID NO: 2), novel_miRNA_3 (uguuuagcauccuguagccugc) (SEQ ID NO: 3), and novel_miRNA_4 (uaguggguuaucagaacu) (SEQ ID NO: 4); and c) identifying the subject as likely to have early stage osteoarthritis or late stage osteoarthritis based on the presence of or measured level of the one or more miRNAs. Isolated nucleic acids, primers, probes, panels and kits are also provided.
