At Protheragen, we offer specialized biomarker analysis services focused exclusively on supporting drug discovery and preclinical development for Periodic Fever Syndrome. Our comprehensive biomarker panel is designed to advance the understanding of disease pathophysiology, enabling researchers to identify and characterize molecular signatures relevant to inflammatory processes. Please note that all services are dedicated to preclinical research and drug development and do not include clinical diagnostic offerings.
The foundation of effective therapeutic intervention lies in the precise discovery and identification of relevant biomarkers. Protheragen’s biomarker discovery services leverage advanced screening and validation methodologies to identify molecular targets that play key roles in Periodic Fever Syndrome. Through systematic screening of candidate genes, proteins, and signaling molecules, we enable the rational selection of biomarkers that support target identification, mechanism-of-action studies, and the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy during early-stage drug development.
Multi Omics: Our multi-omics approach integrates cutting-edge genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics technologies to deliver a comprehensive study of biological systems underlying Periodic Fever Syndrome. By analyzing DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, we identify candidate biomarkers involved in disease-relevant pathways such as innate immune activation, cytokine signaling, and inflammatory cascades. This holistic perspective facilitates the elucidation of molecular mechanisms and supports robust biomarker discovery tailored to the unique pathophysiology of Periodic Fever Syndrome.
Candidate Validation: We employ rigorous validation strategies to confirm the association of candidate biomarkers with the pathophysiology of Periodic Fever Syndrome. Our preliminary screening processes include analytical reproducibility assessments, biological relevance evaluation, and cross-validation in relevant preclinical models. Promising candidates are prioritized based on criteria such as specificity, sensitivity, and mechanistic linkage to disease processes, ensuring that only the most informative markers advance to further assay development.
Diverse Technological Platforms: Protheragen offers custom assay development utilizing a diverse range of technological platforms, including immunoassays, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics, and advanced imaging modalities. Our platforms are adaptable to specific research requirements, allowing for the detection and quantification of a broad spectrum of biomarker types relevant to Periodic Fever Syndrome.
Immunoassays: We develop and optimize enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), chemiluminescent immunoassays, and multiplex immunoassays for the quantitative measurement of cytokines, chemokines, and other protein biomarkers.
Mass Spectrometry: Our LC-MS/MS platforms enable high-sensitivity and high-specificity quantification of peptides, proteins, and metabolites, supporting both targeted and untargeted biomarker analyses.
Flow Cytometry: We utilize flow cytometry for the multiparametric analysis of cell populations and surface or intracellular biomarkers, enabling detailed immunophenotyping and functional studies.
Molecular Diagnostics: We provide nucleic acid-based assays, including quantitative PCR and digital PCR, for the detection and quantification of gene expression and genetic variants associated with disease pathways.
Histopathology And Imaging: Our services include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and advanced imaging techniques to localize and quantify biomarkers within tissue samples.
Rigorous Method Validation: All analytical methods undergo rigorous validation according to industry guidelines to ensure accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. We perform comprehensive performance characterization, including linearity, limit of detection, and inter/intra-assay variability assessments. Robust quality control measures are implemented throughout the workflow to maintain data integrity and reliability.
Our quantitative analysis capabilities encompass absolute and relative quantification of biomarkers across a range of sample types. Using validated assays and calibrated standards, we provide high-quality quantitative data to support biomarker discovery, mechanistic studies, and preclinical drug evaluation for Periodic Fever Syndrome.
Sample Analysis: We handle a variety of preclinical sample types, including serum, plasma, tissue lysates, and cell culture supernatants. Our analysis protocols are tailored to the biological matrix and biomarker class, incorporating stringent quality assurance steps such as sample tracking, contamination control, and data verification to ensure reliable results.
High Throughput Capabilities: Protheragen’s high-throughput analytical platforms enable multiplexed biomarker analysis, facilitating the simultaneous quantification of multiple targets from minimal sample volumes. This approach enhances workflow efficiency, conserves valuable samples, and accelerates data generation for large-scale preclinical studies.
| Gene Target | Biological Function | Application as a Biomarker |
|---|---|---|
| interleukin 1 beta (IL1B) | Interleukin 1 beta (IL1B) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by activated macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. It is synthesized as an inactive precursor (pro-IL1B) and is processed by the inflammasome-associated protease caspase-1 into its active form. IL1B plays a central role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. It mediates a wide range of cellular activities, including the induction of fever, activation of lymphocytes, promotion of leukocyte infiltration, and stimulation of the production of other cytokines and chemokines. IL1B also contributes to the degradation of extracellular matrix components and the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in various tissues. | IL1B levels, particularly in serum, plasma, or tissue samples, are measured to assess inflammatory activity in various clinical and research contexts. Elevated IL1B concentrations have been associated with a number of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and sepsis. IL1B is also studied as an indicator of disease severity and progression in infectious diseases and certain cancers. Its measurement can provide information about the activation of the innate immune response and the presence of systemic or local inflammation. |
| tumor necrosis factor (TNF) | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily produced by activated macrophages, as well as other cell types such as lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and endothelial cells. TNF plays a central role in the regulation of immune responses, inflammation, and apoptosis. It exerts its effects by binding to two distinct receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, leading to activation of signaling pathways that can result in cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, or programmed cell death. TNF is involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including host defense against infection, fever induction, and the development of inflammatory diseases. | TNF is measured in biological fluids such as serum, plasma, or synovial fluid as an indicator of inflammatory activity. Its levels have been associated with disease activity and progression in various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis, and certain cancers. TNF concentrations are used in research and clinical studies to monitor response to anti-TNF therapies and to assess the degree of systemic or local inflammation. |
