Autoantibodies: Powerful biomarkers in cancer precision medicine

Sengenics
31 May 2023

Cancer is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells that migrate from one tissue throughout the body, invading other distal tissues. Despite a long, thorough history of research, a cure has eluded scientists, primarily because of the heterogeneity of the disease. In this application note from Sengenics, explore the barriers to curing cancer, the relationship between cancer and autoantibodies, and the role of autoantibodies in personalised medicine.

OncoREX p53 Cancer Array

SomaLogic

Cancer drug screening and discovery. The OncoRex p53 Cancer Array provides a biologically relevant screening tool since all p53 variants are correctly folded and functional using the patented KREX ® protein folding technology. Using the array, Sengenics can screen your therapeutic antibodies and protein binding compounds against more than 100 p53 wildtype and mutant variants by measuring their impact on DNA binding as a functional readout.

BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Cancer CellsCancer cells are abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors and the spread of cancer. Studying cancer cells is crucial for developing new treatments and understanding tumor biology. Explore cancer cell research products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cancer DiagnosticsThere are a wide variety of diagnostic tests for cancer available, and this range continues to expand as our knowledge of cancer improves. Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.Cancer ResearchCancer research aims to understand the mechanisms of cancer development and progression to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. From molecular biology to clinical trials, research spans a wide range of disciplines, including immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and drug discovery. Explore the best cancer research products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Biomarker DiscoveryClinical biomarkers refer to substances related to known medical conditions that can be accurately measured <i>in vitro</i>. Biomarkers can be used to diagnose presence of a disease and indicate disease severity. The discovery of new biomarkers is incredibly valuable in the field of diagnostics.
