Human Papillomavirus HPV Serum

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Serum for Research

Our HPV Serum is sourced from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed HPV diagnosis. Each sample is processed and frozen within 24 hours of collection to ensure consistency and high quality for antibody detection, seroconversion studies, and vaccine efficacy and immune memory research.

Serum or Plasma? Choose by Assay Type

For HPV work the two matrices answer different questions, and picking the wrong one is a common and costly mistake:

  • Serum (this page) — the matrix for serology: anti-L1 VLP antibodies, neutralising antibody titres, seroconversion series, and vaccine-response work
  • Plasma — the matrix for molecular work: circulating HPV DNA, cell-free and tumour-derived DNA, and viral load quantification

If your assay measures an antibody, order serum. If it amplifies viral nucleic acid, order plasma.

Donor Stratification Available

  • HPV type — high-risk types including 16 and 18, or low-risk types, where genotyped
  • Vaccination status — unvaccinated, or vaccinated (bivalent, quadrivalent, or nonavalent), which is essential context since vaccine-induced and natural-infection antibody profiles differ substantially in titre and breadth
  • Antibody status — anti-L1 seropositive or seronegative, with titre where tested
  • Clinical stage — infection, cytological abnormality, CIN grade, or invasive disease where documented
  • Anatomical site — cervical, oropharyngeal, anogenital
  • Matched seronegative controls available

Are samples IRB approved?

1 Answer

YES – All collections are conducted under IRB-approved protocols and electronic informed consent. Sanguine utilizes Advarra and WCG IRB for oversight.

YES – all our products are research use only (RUO).

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

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.

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

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

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

YES – Unique donors can be specified and guaranteed based on your requirements.

For information about sample quality, please see: Quality and Compliance

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.
