Serum & Plasma Samples
Serum and plasma samples, which contain a wealth of proteins, electrolytes, antibodies, and hormones, play a vital role in the field of medical research, diagnostics, and therapeutics development. With years of experience and a vast network of collection sites, Protheragen offers a range of high quality human serum and plasma samples to meet the diverse needs of researchers in the field of autoimmune disease drug and therapy development.
What is Serum & Plasma?
Serum
Normal serum samples are collected from healthy individuals and serve as a reference or control in various assays, including those involving DNase I and MNase therapeutics. Patient-derived serum samples are obtained from individuals with specific diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, and are crucial for identifying disease-specific biomarkers and understanding disease pathology. These samples are invaluable in drug and therapy development because they allow researchers to analyze dysregulated autoantibodies and cytokines associated with autoimmune diseases, thereby discovering new biomarkers for diagnostics and therapy development.
Plasma
Plasma samples obtained from healthy donors, known as normal source plasma samples, serve as a fundamental reference point for examining the proteome and immune profile in the absence of disease. On the other hand, plasma samples derived from patients with specific autoimmune diseases offer crucial insights into disease pathology and biomarkers. These patient-derived samples play a pivotal role in the development of drugs and therapies for autoimmune diseases by enabling researchers to investigate disease-specific immune responses and assess the effectiveness of potential therapeutics.
