At CD BioSciences, we specialize in delivering comprehensive Diagnostics Development Solutions for Human Herpesvirus (HHV), supporting clients in the discovery, validation, and assessment of diagnostic biomarkers. Our cutting-edge solutions cater to pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and research institutions, focusing on the preclinical phase to ensure precision and efficacy in your diagnostic research and therapeutic development.
Our diagnostics services are structured to provide insights into HHV pathogenesis, improve early detection of HHV-associated diseases, and enable the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. We offer a full suite of services that help you progress from biomarker discovery to assay development and validation, addressing the growing need for effective diagnostics in HHV-related research.
Biomarker Discovery & Validation
The identification and validation of reliable biomarkers are crucial for understanding the complex dynamics of HHV infections. Our team utilizes advanced technologies and methodologies to discover and validate biomarkers that can aid in the early detection of HHV-related diseases such as Kaposi's Sarcoma, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections, and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-related malignancies.
Our biomarker discovery services cover:
- Proteomics: Using mass spectrometry and antibody-based assays, we identify novel biomarkers that can serve as diagnostic indicators for HHV-related conditions.
- Genomics: Leveraging next-generation sequencing (NGS), we detect genetic alterations in host cells caused by HHV infection, enabling the identification of candidate biomarkers for disease progression and therapeutic response.
- Immunology: Our immunoassay development capabilities allow us to pinpoint immune responses to HHV infections, facilitating the discovery of immune biomarkers for patient stratification and personalized treatment.
Once biomarkers are identified, we carry out rigorous validation studies to ensure their reliability, specificity, and sensitivity in detecting HHV infection across various patient populations.
Assay Development Support
Developing accurate and reproducible diagnostic assays is vital for translating biomarkers into usable tools for clinical and preclinical settings. At CD BioSciences, we offer extensive support in assay development, ensuring that your diagnostic tests meet industry standards and provide actionable results.
Our assay development services include:
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
A versatile method for detecting antibodies or antigens, widely used in the detection of HHV-specific proteins in patient samples.
Lateral Flow Immunoassay
A rapid diagnostic test method that can be used for point-of-care diagnostics, ideal for screening HHV infections in various clinical settings.
RT-PCR
Essential for detecting the genetic material of HHV, this assay can differentiate between latent and active infection stages.
Flow Cytometry
Used for detailed immune profiling and detecting infected cell populations, particularly useful in assessing the presence of HHV-specific T-cells or viral antigens.
NGS
Employed for high-throughput, highly sensitive identification of HHV viral genomes, mutations, and biomarkers from clinical samples.
We tailor assay development to your specific needs, ensuring that your assays are optimized for the intended application, whether for early detection, disease monitoring, or treatment response.
Validation of Diagnostic Tools
Once the biomarker and assay systems are in place, we provide comprehensive validation support. This phase ensures that the diagnostic tools are clinically relevant, reliable, and suitable for widespread use.
Our validation services include:
- Analytical Validation: Confirming the sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of diagnostic tests.
- Clinical Validation: Testing the diagnostic tool in clinical settings, comparing its performance with existing methods to assess its diagnostic accuracy and utility.
- Regulatory Support: We assist clients in navigating regulatory pathways, providing support for obtaining approvals from health authorities like the FDA and EMA for diagnostic kits intended for clinical use.
End-to-End Support for HHV Diagnostic Solutions
We provide end-to-end support throughout the diagnostics development process, from initial biomarker discovery to the final validation of diagnostic tools. Our services are designed to accelerate your research and development timelines, ensuring that you have access to the most advanced technologies and methodologies.
