The Immune Analysis Facility (IAF) is responsible for serial monitoring of immunologic functions in patients with cancer, those who are treated with biologic therapies, and those who participate in clinical trials or research protocols at Roswell Park and other sites.
The development of immune-monitoring assays is essential to determine the immune responses in patients receiving novel immune therapies and ultimately transitioning these therapies from the clinical trial phase to standard of care.
The IAF makes available to its users a broad range of state-of-the-art immunologic assays, performed under a rigorous quality-control program. In addition, as advances in immunobiology occur and new assays are requested by the users, the IAF performs preclinical evaluations of the assays and, when they become reliable and standardized, adds them to the available assay list.
