APECED Plasma
APECED Plasma - Cryopreserved human APECED plasma collected from clinically confirmed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) donors. APECED plasma is ideal for endocrine dysfunction and APECED therapeutic development.
APECED Plasma | Human Plasma from Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED) Donors
APECED Plasma is collected from donors clinically diagnosed with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, also known as APS-1) and processed within hours of collection to preserve key analytes such as cytokines, proteins, and metabolites. APECED is caused by biallelic AIRE mutations that break central immune tolerance, producing the characteristic triad of hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, along with high-titre anti-interferon-ω and anti-IL-22 autoantibodies. This human plasma supports research focused on endocrine dysfunction, autoantibody profiling, and APECED therapeutic development.
