Kidney Cancer PBMC
About:Kidney Cancer PBMC - Cryopreserved PBMCs in CryoStor CS10 from consented donors with clinically confirmed renal cell carcinoma. Ideal for tumor immunology: T cell exhaustion and checkpoint phenotyping, TCR repertoire, ex vivo checkpoint blockade, and autologous co-culture. Histology, stage, and treatment stratification available.
About Kidney Cancer PBMC
Kidney Cancer PBMC for Tumor Immunology and Immuno-Oncology Research
Kidney Cancer PBMC products are sourced from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with kidney cancer and processed within 24 hours of collection under standardized SOPs. These cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells are stored in CryoStor® CS10 and shipped on dry ice. Research Use Only (RUO).
Tumor Immunology and Why PBMC
- Most kidney cancers are renal cell carcinoma, and clear cell RCC is the dominant histology; papillary and chromophobe subtypes are biologically distinct.
- Clear cell RCC is characterized by loss of VHL function, which stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factors and drives a strongly VEGF-dependent, highly vascular tumor phenotype.
- RCC is among the more densely immune-infiltrated solid tumors and is clinically responsive to immune checkpoint blockade, including combinations of checkpoint inhibitors and with VEGF-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
- Circulating T cells in advanced disease commonly show activation and exhaustion-associated phenotypes, and peripheral immune composition is widely studied as a correlate of checkpoint inhibitor response.
- PBMCs provide viable effector and regulatory populations for immunophenotyping, TCR repertoire analysis, and functional cytotoxicity or suppression assays; plasma and serum cannot support these readouts.
- Donor-matched PBMCs are also used as autologous effector cells in co-culture and ex vivo checkpoint blockade models.
Donor Stratification Available
- Histology where documented: clear cell, papillary, or chromophobe renal cell carcinoma
- Stage at diagnosis and presence of metastatic disease
- Treatment status: treatment-naive, on immune checkpoint inhibitor, on VEGF-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or post-nephrectomy
- Response category where documented: responding, progressing, or refractory
- Renal function and relevant comorbidities
- Age, sex, and self-reported race/ethnicity
- Matched healthy controls available

Where can I find your complete catalog?
You can find our full product catalog here.
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.
Do you offer prospective collections?
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.
