Immunoassays are essential tools in preclinical drug discovery and disease diagnostics. These sophisticated biochemical tests detect small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, toxins, and other biological substances in a sample by utilizing antibodies that specifically bind to a target analyte or antigen. The resulting antibody-antigen complexes are then quantified by measuring the signal emitted from a detection label. Immunoassays have a wide range of applications, including quantifying test articles, diagnosing infectious diseases, evaluating immune responses to therapeutic candidates, and accurately measuring biomarkers and metabolites for drug development. At GD3, we offer both off-the-shelf and custom immunoassays tailored to meet your unique research requirements. Our scientists deliver quick turnaround times, assays with exceptional sensitivity and reproducibility, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results to advance your programs.

Did you know 1 in 50 people is a genetic carrier for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)? SMA, the leading genetic cause of infant death, is caused by defects in the Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that encodes the SMN protein. SMA patients have at least one copy of a similar gene (SMN2) that produces SMN protein, although in reduced amounts. Infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality, typically resulting in death preceding age two. Low-level production of survival motor neuron protein (SMN) results in a loss of specialized nerve cells called motor neurons that control muscle movement. GD3 researchers have worked with organizations such as the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation, universities and pharmaceutical companies on critical SMA research. In recent years, new SMN-enhancing therapeutics have been developed. Since limited knowledge of baseline and drug-induced SMN levels in disease-relevant tissues hinders efforts to optimize these treatments, clinical trials in this population require understanding disease progression and identifying meaningful biomarkers to hasten therapeutic development and predict outcomes. Clinical studies require a readily accessible means of tracking SMN levels in the patient. GD3 scientists have developed an immunoassay system that monitors SMN protein levels in whole blood. The assay can detect and quantify SMN protein from as little as 5 microliters of whole blood, which can be obtained from a finger prick. ???? Supporting capabilities include gene expression profiling, analysis of protein biomarkers, custom in vitro assay development, preclinical PK/PD, small and large molecule bioanalysis. ??

Do you have an ocular therapeutic candidate for which you need safety assessment and toxicology data? The scientists at GD3 have extensive experience collecting and interpreting routine ocular readouts following test article administration through a variety of dose routes, including topical, intravitreal, subretinal and suprachoroidal. Using our state-of-the-art Heidelberg Spectralis HRA + OCT device, we can generate high-quality and consistent optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA) and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) data needed to continue advancing your therapeutic candidate through the drug development pipeline. The experts at GD3 are able to take these readouts a step further by quantitatively assessing visual function through the collection of electroretinograms (ERG) using our Celeris Diagnosys system, which enables our experts to execute the standard International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) protocol that is routinely used in clinical studies. At GD3, we are invested in understanding the characteristics of your therapeutic candidate. We can offer guidance and expertise on standard OCT and ERG parameters required to assess ocular safety and toxicology, which can be modified to satisfy client and therapeutic candidate needs. Additional ocular safety assessment and toxicology readouts that are routinely performed and offered at GD3 include: ????
