General description

The serum is the fluid from plasma devoid of fibrinogen, prothrombin, and other clotting factors. It contains various plasma proteins, amino acids, polypeptides, growth factors, fat, carbohydrates, nucleic acid derivatives, hormones, inorganic minerals, and vitamins.

Application

Sera human has been used:
  • to prepare the antigen standards for the validation assay of multiple-biomarker detection
  • as a quality check (QC) sample to optimize the experimental workflow
  • as a control in immunoproteomics assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Human serum is used as a cell culture supplement. It maintains physiological balance by stimulating or inhibiting cell growth. It is known to have an inhibitory action on endogenous and exogenous enzymes.

Extraction of viral RNA and the storage of sample material are extremely important factors in the detection and whole genome sequencing (WGS) of viral pathogens. Although PCR-based detection methods focus on small amplicons, viral WGS applications require RNA of high

Animal studies have shown that developmental exposures to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) permanently affect blood/liver balance of lipids. No human study has evaluated associations between in utero exposures to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and later life lipid metabolism. In this

Blood is a convenient source of biomarkers. Readily obtainable, it immerses most tissues in the body and is therefore likely to contain cell-derived proteins and peptides that may provide information about various biological processes. Serum proteome and peptidome profiling--using mass

Serum is a readily available source for diagnostic assays, but the identification of disease-specific serum biomarkers has been impeded by the dominance of human serum albumin (HSA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the serum proteome. Therefore, in order to observe
