Immunology & Infectious Disease Panels Using the nCounter® Analysis Platform

The nCounter infectious disease and immunology panels are well suited for researchers studying immune responses to infectious disease, autoimmune disorders, and changes in immune cell populations in an oncology context. These nCounter panels are powerful tools to elucidate immune responses to pathogens and model metabolic pathways involved in disease.

Take Your Immunology Research Further

Our nCounter services enable you to characterize immune status, understand immune response and study the progression of infection using one of the panels in the immunology and infectious disease portfolio. Choose one of these high-plex panels relevant to your study to analyze differential gene expression and pathway data, enabling you to make discoveries impacting human health.

For research in immuno-oncology, CAR-T cell therapy, infectious disease and drug development, this panel is a multifaceted tool. Uncover the mechanisms behind T cell, B cell, and NK cell exhaustion in diverse contexts, including cancer, with this 785 gene immunology panel. Characterize immune status, develop signatures for assessing the exhausted state and identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent or reverse exhaustion.

Quantify the expression of hundreds of genes involved in core metabolic processes and signaling pathways in the context of cancer and immunity. The underlying molecular mechanisms behind alterations in metabolic pathways, signaling pathways, and cell stress can be explored with this 748 gene panel, giving researchers a complementary tool to traditional metabolite assays for profiling metabolic checkpoints and discovering potential therapeutic targets.

Identify biomarkers for rejection, uncover mechanisms of tissue damage, and study toxicities brought on by immunosuppressive drugs with the Human Organ Transplant panel. Comprehensively profile the immune response to transplanted tissue with this 770 gene target panel, targeting 37 pathways. Develop signatures for rejection pre- and post-transplant to better understand and improve transplant efficiency.

This 770 gene immunology panel is designed to enable researchers to discover links between known autoimmune disease associated germline variants and their gene expression. Covering the top nine autoimmune diseases, it is ideal to explore disease associated mutation gene functionality and biomarker characterization.

Assess host immune response in human or mouse and track transcriptional profiles with the Immunology panel. Multiplex gene expression analysis with over 500 immunology genes including major classes of cytokines and their receptors, enzymes with specific gene families, interferons and their receptors, the TNF-receptor superfamily, and the KIR family genes.

Non-human primate (NHP) research is critical to provide insight into the functionality of drugs and vaccines in development. However, these studies are costly so getting maximum biological information out of each sample in a cost-effective and robust manner is crucial. This panel includes 770 gene targets key to immune responses and immune-related signaling pathways.

This 770 gene immunology panel is designed to encompass all aspects of myeloid innate immune response for use in basic and translational studies. It uses quantitative and qualitative measurements of attributes of innate immune response by evaluating enrichment of genes involved in recruitment and activation of myeloid subtypes.

Study the phases and progression of infection across the five major components of the host response with pathogen-agnostic targets. Profile 785 human genes across 50+ pathways, develop gene expression signatures of immune response, and validate biomarkers for disease severity.

This 770 gene immunology panel is designed to study chronic inflammatory diseases, immune-related adverse effects, and autoimmune diseases. Focusing on 35 pathways and processes, it enables evaluation of immune system dysfunction and the study of mechanisms of action. It covers both adaptive and innate immune responses involved in the most common autoimmune diseases.

Healthy adaptive immune systems are characterized by a diverse population of T cell Receptors (TCRs). The introduction of a pathogen, cancer or transplanted organ can shift TCR diversity. The 129 genes on this panel identify indicators of disease onset and progression, response/non-response to treatment or recovery.

Explore expression of 250 genes focused on inflammation in general immunology research including allergy, autoimmune diseases, and infectious disease immune response. The genes included cover a broad range of relevant pathways related to inflammation including apoptosis, EGF, interleukin signaling, Ras, T cell receptor and toll-like receptor signaling.

Uncover the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, identify biomarkers of progression, and develop signatures for therapeutic response. Profile expression of 770 genes across 51 annotated pathways involved in the 4 stages of fibrosis: initial tissue damage response, chronic inflammation, proliferation of fibrotic cells, and tissue modification leading to fibrotic disease of the lungs, heart, liver, kidney, and skin.

Access Clinically-Relevant Gene Expression Signatures

We are one of only five nCounter service providers that offer nAlgorithm™ gene signature reporting for biopharma clinical studies. We offer the Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS), Lymphoma Subtyping Test (LST), and PAM50 assays. These signatures provide cell typing and quantification, assist in patient stratification, and facilitate better biomarker identification.
