Alliance Pharma has successfully completed testing and validation of the Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD) Human V-PLEX Aβ Peptide Panel 1 Assay (6E10).  With the completion of this validation, Alliance Pharma becomes the first global CRO to validate the Aβ V-PLEX Panel 1, and greatly expands its analytical capabilities in Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases.

The MSD Aβ V-PLEX Panel 1 (6E10) is a multiplexed sandwich immunoassay which measures three amyloid peptides of significance to Alzheimer’s disease: Aβ42, Aβ40, and Aβ38.  MSD neurodegenerative disease assays provide a sensitive method for measuring the levels of peptide and protein targets within a single, small-volume sample.  V-PLEX immunoassays are developed under rigorous design control and are fully validated according to “Fit for Purpose” principles.

Sensitive biomarker assays are proving crucial to the design and execution of clinical trials that target the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease.  The Aβ Peptide Panel 1 (6E10) kit is validated for human CSF and thus is ideally suited for this purpose.

“The addition of the Meso Scale Discovery® MSD Aβ V-PLEX immunoassay to our service portfolio will further help our sponsors in the development of drugs to treat neurodegenerative diseases” said Dr. Feng Li, President of Alliance Pharma.
