Neoantigen Discovery
Using next generation sequencing(NGS) technology, we identify aberrant proteins arising from cancer-specific genetic mutations (neoantigens) while excluding those expressed by normal cells, thereby ensuring precise therapeutic targeting.
Neoantigens need to bind to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC, also known as HLA in humans) in order to be recognized by immune cells such as T cells. We use bioinformatics tools to predict epitopes of neoantigens that can efficiently bind to MHC and identify candidate peptides with strong immunogenicity.
