MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma

MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma for Lysosomal Storage Disease Research

MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type II and processed under standardised SOPs. Plasma is an acellular matrix and is intended for soluble-analyte work; cell-based assays should use the PBMC or whole blood product instead.

The IDS Gene Defect and Why Plasma

MPS II is a monogenic, X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in IDS, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. It is a genetic enzyme deficiency, not an autoimmune or inflammatory condition.

  • Loss of iduronate-2-sulfatase activity blocks a step in glycosaminoglycan catabolism, so partially degraded dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate accumulate in lysosomes across many tissues
  • Undegraded glycosaminoglycans spill into the circulation and urine, which is why circulating GAG and derived-GAG measurement is a standard research readout for this disease
  • Because inheritance is X-linked recessive, affected donors are predominantly male; carrier females are typically unaffected or mildly affected
  • Presentation spans a broad spectrum, from attenuated somatic disease to severe forms with progressive neurological involvement, and genotype does not fully predict phenotype
  • Enzyme replacement therapy is established clinical practice, so anti-drug antibody and treatment-response research is an active area that plasma directly supports
  • Plasma allows enzyme activity assays, substrate quantification by mass spectrometry, proteomics, and immunoassay work from a single acellular matrix

Donor Stratification Available

  • Attenuated versus severe (neuronopathic) clinical phenotype
  • Enzyme replacement therapy status: treatment-naive, currently treated, or previously treated
  • Age at diagnosis and current age band, including paediatric where available
  • Method of diagnostic confirmation: enzyme activity assay, molecular IDS genotyping, or both
  • Documented organ involvement, such as cardiac, respiratory, skeletal, or CNS
  • 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.
