Pulmonary Fibrosis Plasma
Powered by BiozAbout:Pulmonary Fibrosis Plasma is collected from consented donors with clinically confirmed fibrotic lung disease. Suitable for analysing circulating cytokines, chemokines and biomarkers of extracellular matrix turnover, including TIMPs, MMPs and pro-collagen peptides. Available stratified by idiopathic versus other cause, antifibrotic treatment status and severity, with matched healthy controls.
About Pulmonary Fibrosis Plasma
Pulmonary Fibrosis Plasma for Fibrotic Lung Disease Research
Pulmonary Fibrosis Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and processed within one day of collection to preserve cytokines, proteins and metabolites. Plasma is acellular, so this product is intended for soluble-analyte measurement rather than cell-based assays.
Fibrosis Biology and Why Plasma
Pulmonary fibrosis is a disorder of aberrant wound healing in the lung, not an autoimmune disease. Repeated or unresolved alveolar epithelial injury triggers a repair response that fails to switch off.
- Injured alveolar epithelium releases profibrotic mediators, with TGF-beta signalling the most consistently implicated driver of the fibrotic programme
- Resident fibroblasts differentiate into contractile, matrix-secreting myofibroblasts that persist rather than undergoing normal clearance
- Excess and abnormally cross-linked extracellular matrix accumulates, stiffening the interstitium and progressively destroying gas-exchange units
- Because matrix is constantly being synthesised and degraded, fragments of collagen, MMPs and their TIMP inhibitors enter the circulation and can be quantified in plasma
- Epithelial injury markers and mucin-associated proteins are also measurable in plasma, supporting non-invasive progression research without repeat lung biopsy
- Interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue disease has a distinct immunological component; where relevant, we offer that as a separate stratification option rather than treating fibrosis itself as autoimmune
Donor Stratification Available
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis versus fibrosis of known or other cause
- Connective-tissue-disease-associated interstitial lung disease as a separate cohort where documented
- Antifibrotic treatment status: on nintedanib, on pirfenidone, or treatment-naive
- Disease severity by pulmonary function testing where available
- Supplemental oxygen requirement
- Smoking history
- 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.
