HuScan and VirScan are powerful tools for interrogating immune system changes via patient antibody levels as well as infectious virus exposure and changes to patient antibody composition caused by viral infection.
In addition to diagnostics, both assays are particularly useful for discovering biomarkers to differentiate clinical trial cohorts for cancer immune-oncology, autoimmune disease, neurodegeneration, viral infection, other immunotherapies and in cross-reactivity assessment of antibodies as research reagents.
“These new assays complement our HuProt™ proteome microarray platform, making CDI’s Antygen Division the most comprehensive proteomics platform in the world – focusing on the increasingly important field of patient autoantibody biomarker discovery,” said Scott Paschke, CDI VP. “Furthermore they expand our ability to contribute important data to the rapidly growing area of cancer immunotherapy.”
CDI’s Antygen Division offers HuScan and VirScan as custom discovery services using patient-derived antibodies in biological fluids. Other services including assay design, contract research and bioinformatics are available.
