Peptide Synthesis> | Native peptide antigens and modified peptide antigens were custom synthesized by Genscript using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis and purified (>90%) by high-performance liquid chromatography...filtered, and cultured in complete RPMI in 96-well plates with 2 μg ml−1 anti-CD28 (clone 37.51, BD catalog no. 553294) in combination with 2 μg ml−1 of the native (unmodified) peptide antigen (Genscript). | Get A Quote |
Personalized cancer vaccines targeting patient-specific neoantigens are a promising cancer treatment modality; however, neoantigen physicochemical variability can present challenges to manufacturing personalized cancer vaccines in an optimal format for inducing anticancer T cells. Here, we developed a vaccine platform (SNP-7/8a) based on charge-modified peptide-TLR-7/8a conjugates that are chemically programmed to self-assemble into nanoparticles of uniform size (~20 nm) irrespective of the peptide antigen composition. This approach provided precise loading of diverse peptide neoantigens linked to TLR-7/8a (adjuvant) in nanoparticles, which increased uptake by and activation of antigen-presenting cells that p...
