It plans to trade on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol OXFD, with J.P. Morgan and Piper Jaffray serving as lead underwriters. The company reports a $2 million net loss on nearly $18 million in revenue for the first half of 2013, compared to a $7 million net loss on $9.6 million in revenue for the first half of 2012. Shareholders include Clarus Ventures 24.3% pre-IPO stake), New Leaf Venture Partners (13%), DFJ Esprit (10.1%), Imperial Innovations (7.9%) Wellington (7.7%), Invesco (7.9%), SPARK Ventures, Dow Chemical Co., NTEC, Kaiser Permanente Ventures and the University of Oxford. www.oxfordimmunotec.com

Plains GP Holdings, an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE: PAA), raised $2.8 billion in its IPO.
