Apoptosis Inhibitor Survivin Testing in Preclinical Oncology
The protein survivin is a key player in tumor cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis (programmed cell death). It acts as an apoptosis inhibitor, which makes it crucial for cancer research. The preclinical oncology phase involves extensive testing of new anticancer agents and therapies. Survivin plays a pivotal role in understanding the efficacy and toxicity profile of these drugs. This service offers comprehensive analysis using advanced methodologies to determine survivin levels in various biological samples.
In preclinical trials, accurate measurement of survivin is essential for assessing drug response and potential side effects on cancer cells. The testing helps researchers evaluate the mechanism of action of new treatments, which can guide further clinical development. Survivin's presence can indicate resistance to chemotherapy or radiotherapy, thus impacting treatment strategies.
Our methodology involves several key steps: collection of appropriate biological samples such as cell lines, tissue cultures, and xenografts; extraction of survivin using standard protocols; quantification through ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) or Western blotting techniques. These methods ensure high specificity and sensitivity for detecting even minute levels of the protein.
The results are presented in a detailed report that includes raw data, statistical analysis, and interpretations relevant to the study objectives. This information is vital for researchers to make informed decisions about advancing their projects into clinical trials or refining experimental protocols.
By offering this specialized testing service, Eurolab contributes significantly to accelerating advancements in cancer research by providing reliable data on survivin expression levels. With state-of-the-art facilities and experienced personnel, we ensure precision and reliability in every test performed.
Scope and Methodology
The scope of our Survivin testing encompasses a wide range of applications within preclinical oncology research. We analyze survivin levels across different types of cancer models, including solid tumors like breast, lung, and prostate cancers, as well as hematological malignancies such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Our methodology employs both quantitative ELISA kits specifically designed for measuring survivin in serum, plasma, cell lysates, or tissue extracts. For more sensitive detection, we also offer Western blotting services which provide qualitative data regarding the presence and relative amounts of survivin protein within samples.
| Sample Type | Testing Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serum/Plasma | ELISA Kit | High-throughput screening for large-scale studies. |
| Tissue Extracts | Western Blotting | For detailed analysis of survivin expression patterns at protein level. |
| Cell Lysates | ELISA Kit/Western Blotting | Assessing changes in survivin levels due to treatment interventions. |
The testing process starts with sample preparation where we ensure proper handling and preservation of integrity for optimal results. Following extraction, our skilled team processes the samples according to internationally recognized standards (ISO 15189).
Our comprehensive reports include not only quantified values but also interpretative insights based on comparative studies within the field. This helps researchers understand how their current work contributes towards broader cancer research goals.
Industry Applications
- Drug Discovery: Identifying novel compounds that target survivin to induce apoptosis in cancer cells without harming normal tissues.
- Tumor Response Prediction: Determining the likelihood of response to specific therapies based on survivin levels present.
- Patient Stratification: Selecting patients most likely to benefit from certain treatments by assessing their baseline survivin status.
