In Vitro Efficacy Testing Services for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease

We provide robust and sensitive in vitro screening and characterization platforms for accelerating the discovery and screening of potential therapies for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID). Our services are tailored to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of novel compounds targeting the genetic and immunological deficiencies characteristic of SCID. Key targets include interleukin receptors (such as IL2RG), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and other proteins critical for lymphocyte development and function. We assess pathological processes such as impaired lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine signaling disruptions, and defective immune responses.

Our comprehensive suite of in vitro assays includes bioluminescent, chemiluminescent, ELISA, FRET, and fluorescent assays to evaluate drug efficacy and mechanism of action. These methods enable precise quantification of biological activities, protein interactions, enzyme functions, and pathway modulation relevant to SCID. The use of multiple assay formats ensures flexibility and sensitivity for different stages of drug discovery.

Bioluminescent assay: Utilizes light-emitting reactions to measure cellular or biochemical activities, offering high sensitivity for detecting changes in immune cell function or enzyme activity.

Chemiluminescent assay: Detects the emission of light from chemical reactions, providing a versatile and sensitive method for quantifying immune-related analytes or monitoring cell-based responses.

ELISA assay: Employs enzyme-linked antibodies to detect and quantify specific proteins or cytokines, widely used for measuring immune markers and evaluating therapeutic effects in SCID models.

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay: Measures energy transfer between fluorescent molecules to analyze molecular interactions, ideal for studying protein-protein interactions or signal transduction pathways relevant to SCID.

Fluorescent assay: Uses fluorescent probes to monitor biological processes, enzyme activities, or cell viability, enabling rapid and accurate assessment of drug responses.

We measure key pharmacological parameters such as EC-50, IC-50, and Ki to quantitatively characterize the potency and efficacy of candidate compounds. These parameters are critical for comparing drug candidates, optimizing lead compounds, and understanding mechanism of action. Accurate parameter determination supports rational decision-making during preclinical development.

EC-50: The concentration of a compound that produces 50% of its maximal effect, essential for assessing drug potency and guiding dose selection.

IC-50: The concentration of an inhibitor required to reduce a specific biological or biochemical function by 50%, important for evaluating the effectiveness of inhibitory compounds.

Ki: The equilibrium constant for inhibitor binding, reflecting affinity for the target and supporting structure-activity relationship studies in drug optimization.
