Inflammatory Bowel Disease PBMC

Inflammatory Bowel Disease PBMC for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Research

Inflammatory Bowel Disease PBMC products are sourced from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), processed within 24 hours of collection and cryopreserved in CryoStor CS10. These peripheral blood mononuclear cells support cellular immunology work on IBD-associated immune dysregulation.

IBD Immunology and Why PBMC

IBD is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, comprising Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It is driven by dysregulated mucosal immunity to the gut microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals rather than by a defined autoantibody.

  • Barrier dysfunction and loss of tolerance to commensal microbiota allow inappropriate activation of mucosal T cells, with effector cytokine production sustaining chronic inflammation
  • The TNF-alpha and IL-23/Th17 axes are the two best-validated therapeutic pathways, targeted respectively by anti-TNF and anti-IL-12/23 and anti-IL-23 biologics
  • Lymphocyte trafficking to the gut, mediated in part by integrin alpha4beta7 and its interaction with MAdCAM-1, is a clinically validated target and is directly measurable on circulating cells
  • Genome-wide association studies implicate many loci, with NOD2 variants a well-established contributor to Crohn’s disease susceptibility
  • Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis differ in distribution, depth of inflammation and treatment response, so subtype selection matters
  • PBMC support flow cytometric immunophenotyping including gut-homing marker expression, single-cell sequencing, ex vivo stimulation and functional cytokine assays

Donor Stratification Available

  • Subtype: Crohn’s disease versus ulcerative colitis
  • Disease activity: active flare versus clinical remission
  • Treatment status: treatment-naive, on 5-ASA or thiopurines, on anti-TNF therapy, on anti-IL-12/23 or anti-IL-23 therapy, on integrin blockade, or on JAK inhibitors
  • Biologic-naive versus biologic-exposed or primary non-responder
  • Disease extent and location, and history of intestinal surgery
  • Disease duration since diagnosis
  • Matched healthy 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.
