APECED Plasma

About APECED Plasma

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.

Where can I find your complete catalog?
How long can samples be stored?

Storage depends on sample type but often cryopreserved samples stored in liquid nitrogen can be stored for years.

What customization options are available?

Extensive customization is available. To discuss your project request a quote or email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com.

Sanguine offers flexible prospective collection services tailored to fit your research. For more information and to request a quote, please see: our prospective biospecimen collection services page.

What is the turnaround time for custom collections?

Timelines depend on condition, sample type, and I/E criteria but we often start collection within 2 weeks of signed agreement.

Do you have samples in stock?

YES - we have in-stock inventory. You can also email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com as we continually get new samples in our inventory.

What does unique donor mean?

Each sample from a different individual - Unique donor means each sample comes from a different person, ensuring biological diversity in your study.

Are samples collected under IRB-approved protocols?

YES - "IRB-approved collection protocols" and IRB approval documentation available upon request. Sanguine utilizes two internationally-recognized IRBs (Advarra and WCG IRB) for review and approval.
