BIOPRED PANEL : mRNA based targeted gene sequencing to better understand inflammatory-autoimmune disorders
As part of the European IMI BT-Cure consortium followed by the H2020 RABIOPRED program launched in 2016, FIRALIS launches its proprietary assay for the identification of markers related to inflammatory-autoimmune disorders.
The Firalis BIOPRED panel is the result of an intensive research with an intelligent data mining approach in cooperation with centers of excellence in the domain of inflammatory-autoimmune disorders. It is a targeted gene sequencing panel of 2155 mRNA targets identified in several resources for several disorders, especially for those diseases in which biologics are indicated. These mRNAs are especially associated with inflammatory and pro-inflammatory pathways, immune response pathways, interleukins, chemokines, growth factors, metalloproteinases, and many others. Thanks to the HTG EdgeSeq platform, allowing mRNA measurements without an RNA extraction step, the BIOPRED assay offers an innovative and sensitive solution to profile thousands of mRNA targets directly in the samples and with excellent analytical performance on various matrices.

« The Biopred panel profiling tool may help physicians to make the right diagnosis and therapeutic choice for each patient in function to their disease activity level. » said Pr. C. Jorgensen, a key opinion leader (KOL) who tested his retrospective cohort on the Biopred panel in order to identify biomarkers of drug-free remission for the first time.
About HTG Technology:
The HTG EdgeSeq system, available at Firalis (reference lab for Europe), is a novel target capture and library prep chemistry technology which enables fast and easy profiling of microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA). The HTG EdgeSeq system uses an extraction-free chemistry that significantly reduces sample input requirements and variability associated with the extraction step. In just 3 days, our scientists can go from raw samples to data.
