Objective: To explore the sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of dual-color and dual-fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) in detecting the minimal residual disease (MRD) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after treatment.
Methods: MRD were detected in the bone marrow of 8 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia after treatment with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization. Sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of D-FISH were compared with those of single-fusion FISH (S-FISH). Furthermore, correlation between the results of D-FISH and RT-PCR was explored.
Results: D-FISH was more sensitive and specific than S-FISH and had a good reproducibility. In normal control, the cutoff rates of D-FISH and S-FISH were 0.570% and 5.868% with significant statistic difference. In detection of MRD in 8 cases of CML post transplantation, positive rates of S-FISH and D-FISH were 3/8 (37.5%) and 5/8 (62.5%) respectively. Furthermore, the results of D-FISH had a high correlation with that of RT-PCR.
Conclusion: In view of the lower false-positive and false-negative results of D-FISH, it may be used in the detection of minimal residual disease in CML after treatment. But further exploration is required for verifying the correlation between the results of D-FISH and the clinical parameters.

Intracellular monitoring of protein ubiquitination and differentiating polyubiquitin chain topology are crucial for understanding life processes and drug discovery, which is challenged by the high complexity of the ubiquitination process and a lack of molecular tools. Herein, a synthetic dual-sensor platform specific for K48-linked ubiquitin oligomers was tailored for visualization of polyubiquitin chain assembling in live biosystems. This is achieved using macrocyclic peptides as recognition motifs and a tetraphenylethylene derivative as an activatable reporter.

Small molecules are essential for investigating the pharmacology of membrane proteins and remain the most common approach for therapeutically targeting them. However, most experimental small molecule screening methods require ligands containing radiolabels or fluorescent labels and often involve isolating proteins from their cellular environment. Additionally, most conventional screening methods are suited for identifying compounds with moderate to higher affinities ( < 1 μM) and are less effective at detecting lower affinity compounds, such as weakly binding molecular fragments.

Objective: A pathogenetic role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) and other spondyloarthritis (SpA) is sustained by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and by the expansion of public T cell clonotypes in the target tissues. This study investigates the migration of CD8+ T cells, along with their phenotype and functions in patients with r-axSpA and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods: Peripheral blood CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were isolated from r-axSpA (n= 128), PsA (n= 60) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA, n= 74) patients and healthy donors (HD, n= 79).

Objective: In clinical practice, an accurate and efficient detection approach for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is highly needed. The fluorescence hybridization (FISH) assay for PTB might be a suitable alternative to current tests. However, a systematic assessment of the diagnostic performance of this new approach is not available.
