At Creative Proteomics, we provide high-quality peptidomics-based antigen discovery and prediction services to empower scholars in the realm of immunology and vaccine advancement. Our all-encompassing solutions harness the potential of peptidomics to discern, delineate, and anticipate prospective antigens for an array of purposes, encompassing vaccine, diagnostic assay formulation, and comprehension of immune responses.
What is Peptidomics-Based Antigen Discovery and Prediction?
Peptidomics-based antigen discovery and prediction involves the identification and prediction of antigens using peptidomics techniques. Peptidomics constitutes an area of inquiry that centers upon the identification and delineation of peptides, brief chains of amino acids, within a given biological specimen. In the context of antigen exploration, peptidomics methodologies are employed to scrutinize the range of peptides presented by cells, specifically those classified as antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. Peptidomics-based antigen discovery and prediction entail the employment of techniques to ascertain, define, and harness distinctive peptide sequences from antigen-presenting cells, thereby enhancing comprehension of the immune response and engendering novel strategies for vaccines and diagnostics.
Peptidomics-Based Antigen Discovery and Prediction by Creative Proteomics
- Peptide Extraction and Purification
We employ state-of-the-art techniques to extract and purify peptide samples from diverse biological sources, such as tissues, fluids, or cell lines. Our experts ensure high yield and purity of peptides for downstream analysis.
- Epitope Mapping
Through peptide synthesis and epitope mapping experiments, we precisely determine the binding sites of potential antigens with antibodies or major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. This information aids in the design of highly specific and effective vaccines.
- Peptide-antigen Interaction Studies
We offer comprehensive studies to investigate the interaction between peptides and antigens. Through techniques such as ELISA, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), or molecular docking simulations, we can assess the binding affinity and specificity of the identified peptides towards specific antigens.
- Validation Studies
We provide validation studies to assess the antigenicity and immunogenicity of the predicted peptides. These studies can include in vitro assays using immune cells or in vivo animal models, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
- Epitope Prediction
Using computational algorithms and databases, we can predict potential epitopes within the identified peptides. This information is valuable for vaccine design and development, as well as for understanding the underlying immune responses.
