Cervical Cancer Serum
About:Cervical Cancer Serum from consented donors with confirmed cervical cancer, processed and frozen within 24 hours of collection. Supports tumour marker research (SCC-Ag, CEA, CA 125), HPV E6 and E7 antibody assay development, soluble checkpoint and cytokine profiling, and tumour immunology biomarker discovery. Donors can be stratified by histology, FIGO stage, HPV genotype and treatment status, with matched healthy controls available.
About Cervical Cancer Serum
Cervical Cancer Serum for Tumour Immunology and Oncology Biomarker Research
Our Cervical Cancer Serum is sourced from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with cervical cancer. Each sample is processed and frozen within 24 hours of collection to ensure consistency and high quality for tumour immunology, biomarker and translational oncology studies. Cervical cancer is a neoplastic disease; the overwhelming majority of cases arise from persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus, which makes it one of the few solid tumours with a defined viral aetiology.
Why Serum for Cervical Cancer Research
- Nearly all cervical cancers are driven by persistent high-risk HPV, most commonly types 16 and 18. The viral E6 and E7 oncoproteins inactivate p53 and Rb respectively, and antibody responses to E6 and E7 are detectable in serum in a substantial fraction of HPV-driven cancers, unlike in transient infection.
- Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) is the tumour marker most established in squamous cervical carcinoma and is measured in serum; CEA and CA 125 are more relevant to adenocarcinoma histology.
- Cervical tumours are typically immune-infiltrated and PD-L1 expressing, and checkpoint blockade is part of the treatment landscape for recurrent and metastatic disease. Serum supports profiling of soluble immune checkpoint molecules, chemokines and inflammatory cytokines that reflect that tumour immune contexture.
- Serum, having had fibrinogen and most clotting factors removed, is the matrix on which most commercial tumour marker and serology immunoassays are validated, which matters when benchmarking a new assay against an established one.
- Serum captures the systemic host response to tumour burden, including acute-phase reactants and nutritional or metabolic indices that inform prognostic modelling alongside FIGO stage.
- Circulating HPV tumour DNA is an active area of research, but cell-free DNA work is generally better served by plasma; matched cervical cancer plasma from the same donors can be requested for that purpose.
