Introducing Olink Flex: Immuno-Oncology panel

16 Aug 2023

While the ground breaking success of immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, efforts to better predict responses and increase efficacy while reducing toxicity remain key challenges in the oncology field. Patient profiling based on blood biomarkers can have significant clinical value, due to the capacity of circulating proteins to provide real-time insights in a non-invasive, robust, and efficient manner. Here, Olink presents the Olink Flex Immuno-Oncology panel, which includes 21 proteins involved in various facets of tumor development and the immune response. Some of these biomakrers, such as IL8, LIF, IL6, TNFa, IFNγ and CXCL9/10/11, have been shown as clinically relevant for stratifying patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :ImmunotherapyImmunotherapy is a treatment approach that utilizes the body�s immune system to fight diseases, especially cancer. It includes therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cell therapy. Immunotherapy is a rapidly growing area of research in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
