Study Melanoma with Peptide Innovations & New Literature

Published on 11/08/2022

The potential immunogenicity of mutation-derived neo-antigens makes them strong candidates for personalized cancer therapy approaches. Melanoma is associated with a high somatic mutation frequency leading to an increased likelihood of neo-antigen formation. 
Besides the need for therapy, this cancer is also a suitable model for neo-epitope prediction and verification. Vaccine and cell therapy development [6,7] as well as the implementation of appropriate humoral and cellular immune monitoring strategies are often pioneered in melanoma research.
Therefore, we developed a large variety of readily available peptide-based tools and services supporting all development phases of Melanoma-related Immunotherapies.  

  • common melanoma- associated antigens, e.g. MAGE, PRAME or NY-ESO, with new products continuously added to the catalog
  • for T-cell immunity profiling & epitope discovery

  • immunodominant epitopes representing melanoma-associated antigens 
  • for stimulation of antigen-specific T cells in T cell assays


  • high density or multiwell peptides microarrays
  • for epitope resolved humoral immune response profiling and antibody epitope mapping
