Protheragen offers specialized biomarker analysis services tailored for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) research and therapeutic development. Our comprehensive biomarker panel is designed to advance understanding of LHON pathophysiology and support drug discovery and preclinical development efforts. Please note that all Protheragen services are exclusively focused on research and exploratory applications in drug discovery through preclinical stages, and do not include any clinical diagnostic services.
Effective therapeutic intervention for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy begins with robust biomarker discovery and identification. At Protheragen, we provide end-to-end biomarker discovery services that play a critical role in the drug development pipeline. Our process encompasses the systematic screening of biological samples to identify novel molecular signatures, followed by rigorous validation to confirm their relevance to disease mechanisms. These efforts facilitate the early identification of potential drug targets and efficacy markers, laying the foundation for successful preclinical research.
Multi Omics: Protheragen leverages a multi-omics approach—integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—to achieve a holistic understanding of biological systems implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Our cutting-edge technologies enable the comprehensive profiling of DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, facilitating the discovery of novel biomarkers linked to disease pathways such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neurodegeneration, all of which are relevant to LHON. This integrative strategy enhances our ability to map disease networks and identify actionable molecular targets.
Candidate Validation: To ensure the reliability of biomarker candidates for LHON, Protheragen employs rigorous validation strategies. We assess the association of each candidate with disease pathophysiology through a combination of in vitro and in vivo models, literature mining, and orthogonal analytical methods. Preliminary screening processes evaluate expression patterns, specificity, and reproducibility. Promising candidates are prioritized based on criteria such as biological relevance, detectability, and potential as pharmacodynamic or efficacy markers for preclinical studies.
Diverse Technological Platforms: Our custom assay development capabilities allow us to tailor analytical platforms to the specific requirements of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy research. Protheragen adapts a broad spectrum of technologies—including immunoassays, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics, and advanced imaging—to accommodate diverse biomarker detection and quantification needs in preclinical drug discovery.
Immunoassays: We offer a range of immunoassay formats, including ELISA, chemiluminescent immunoassays, and multiplex bead-based assays, for sensitive and specific detection of protein biomarkers.
Mass Spectrometry: Our LC-MS/MS platforms provide high-resolution, quantitative analysis of proteins, peptides, and metabolites relevant to LHON research.
Flow Cytometry: Multi-parameter flow cytometry enables the characterization and quantification of cellular biomarkers, supporting mechanistic studies in preclinical models.
Molecular Diagnostics: We utilize PCR, qPCR, and digital PCR for the detection and quantification of nucleic acid biomarkers, including mitochondrial genome alterations.
Histopathology And Imaging: Advanced histopathological techniques and imaging modalities are employed to localize and quantify biomarker expression in tissue samples, aiding in the assessment of disease progression and therapeutic response.
Rigorous Method Validation: All analytical methods developed at Protheragen undergo rigorous validation in accordance with established research guidelines. Our validation process assesses key performance characteristics such as sensitivity, specificity, linearity, precision, and reproducibility. Comprehensive quality control measures are implemented throughout, ensuring the generation of robust and reliable data suitable for preclinical research applications.
Protheragen delivers quantitative biomarker analysis using validated protocols and state-of-the-art instrumentation. Our capabilities cover absolute and relative quantification, enabling precise measurement of biomarker levels across diverse sample matrices. This quantitative approach supports data-driven decision-making in early-stage drug development for LHON.
Sample Analysis: We handle a variety of sample types relevant to LHON research, including blood, plasma, serum, tissue biopsies, and cellular extracts. Each sample is processed using standardized protocols designed to preserve biomarker integrity and maximize data quality. Stringent quality assurance measures are applied at every step, from sample receipt through analysis and reporting.
High Throughput Capabilities: Our high-throughput analytical platforms, including multiplex immunoassays and automated liquid handling systems, enable the simultaneous analysis of multiple biomarkers from limited sample volumes. This approach increases efficiency, reduces turnaround times, and conserves valuable preclinical samples, facilitating comprehensive biomarker profiling in exploratory studies.
