Tools for Immuno-oncology research
Tipping the tumor balance – giving immune cells the edge
Your innovative, immuno-oncology research is helping to advance cancer therapy and here at Bio-Techne, we’re forward thinkers too. We understand the complexities of the cancer landscape and know how important it is for you to have the right set of tools, for the right set of experiments, at the right time.
From unique in vitro models and cytokine expression analysis to the identification of checkpoint and immune cell markers in tumors, we offer high-quality molecular biology tools and services that help to simplify your immuno-oncology workflows and get you from bench to bedside.
Biomarker Detection and Tumor Microenvironment Analysis – Scaling the Cancer Landscape
We understand that you need to capture the heterogeneous nature of the tumor microenvironment to identify the most relevant cancer biomarkers. From transcription to cell surface expression, our solutions will help you make the move from basic to translational research.
- Visualize cell-cell interactions, identify immune cell sub-populations secreting pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, or check the efficacy of your immune checkpoint therapeutics. Our innovative RNAscope™ISH Technology enables the simultaneous detection of RNA and protein while keeping the tumor tissue architecture intact.
- With Luminex multiplexing, automated Simple Plex and Simple Western assays, and ready-to-use Quantikine ELISAs -- we're here to expedite your biomarker discovery.
- Characterize the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and identify prognostic biomarkers with highly sensitive Simple Westerns and Single-Cell Westerns as well as our highly validated antibodies for flow cytometry and IHC.
- We understand that sometimes you need the flexibility to develop your own sandwich ELISA assay or you have a novel ELISA platform. That’s why we offer matched pair antibodies and DuoSet ELISA kits to suit every stage of your research..
- Want to check your biomarker expression in exosomes? Let us do the hard work for you. From exosome isolation to nucleic acid and protein biomarker detection, our Exosome Diagnostics services provide an end-to-end solution.
Checkpoint Marker Assessment – should I stay or should I go?
Be confident that your checkpoint marker is present and/or activated/inhibited – at the transcriptional and protein level.
Discover our extensive range of solutions from bioactive immune checkpoint proteins and fully-validated blocking/neutralizing antibodies to highly sensitive, multiplex in situ hybridization assays:
- Check your checkpoint with specificity and sensitivity–whether it’s PD-L1, CTLA-4 or another promising molecule, we offer immunoassay platforms for all your detection needs. From plate based ELISAs, to multiplex options with Luminex, to our fully automated Simple Plex and Simple Western platforms -- our solutions ensure that you get accurate and consistent results in minimal time.
- Rapidly identify the inter- and intratumor heterogeneity of checkpoint marker expression in situ with RNAscope ISH assays, and Multiplex, Duplex (R&D Systems) and HiPlex assays – the most sensitive, single cell spatial-platforms to assess checkpoint marker gene expression.
- Can’t find what you’re looking for? Need to generate a mutant or novel protein? Let us help you with our custom protein services – offering undetectable endotoxin levels <0.1 EU/ug and bioassay validation.
