Infectious Disease Biomarkers

There has been an unprecedented response to the COVID-19 pandemic to understand and respond to the effects of COVID-19, but despite vaccines now being deployed to fight the disease, the need to expand our understanding of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 still exists. Autoimmune reactions to the virus have been shown to be a key factor in understanding disease severity and post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), as long COVID.

ImmunoINSIGHTS for antibody profiling to stratify patients and predict disease severity.

ImmunoINSIGHTS Panels and Arrays for Infectious Diseases for COVID-19 and long COVID enable a better understanding of how SARS-CoV-2 stimulates an immune reaction and can predict responses to vaccines and therapeutics against the virus.

Our technology platform addresses the key challenges for:

  • Patient antibody profiling before, during, and after treatment, as well as after recovery from infection
  • Measuring vaccine response in animals and patients
  • IgG transience in a timed manner after immunization
  • Data mining support for predictive machine learning-based assay panels

A broad panel of >700 protein and peptide antigens:

  • High-throughput investigation of protein-antibody interactions of multiple targets
  • Assays for antibody binding to autoimmune and viral antigens, including antigens from SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2, MERS) and other seasonal viruses (ie. influenza, rhinoviruses)
  • Customizable immuno-assay panels available

The ImmunoINSIGHTS platform has demonstrated:

  • Autoantibodies can be associated with disease signals many months prior to diagnosis
  • Differences in antibody profile between mild, moderate, and severe symptoms
  • Presence of different autoimmune activation between males and females following infection
  • Differences in anti-spike peptide IgG antibodies following vaccination
  • Relationship between pathways of the immune system, immune cell activation, and cytokine- mediated signaling pathways
  • PASC is different from COVID-19 and shows a divergent interaction with the immune system
