Tutorials, Workshops & Seminars

JPT holds tutorials, workshops and seminars for researchers that use or plan to use peptide microarrays or PepMix™ peptide pools and PepTrack™ peptide libraries for antigen-specific T-cell stimulation. We aim to provide thorough insights into the microarray technology, how to use peptide microarrays and in data evaluation, as well in the the ELISpot technique.

Seminars: Improve your ELISPOT Assay

The ELISpot Resource Group holds free Elispot seminars all over the world with the aim to inform about the Elispot technique, new developments as well as quality assurance and controls.

For current dates please have a look at our News Page or subscribe to our newsletter at the end of the page.

If you would like to have a seminar setup at your institution, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Topics include:

Improved performance of ELISpot assays
New ELISpot plates
Antibody choices and combinations
Fluorospot for dual and triple cytokine/antibody secretion patterns
Peptide and peptide pool formats, peptide stability and storage
Freezing and test media
Automated cell counting and viability/apoptosis assessment
Sample preparation options
Evaluation of ELISpot plates
Statistical considerations and response definition
Trouble shooting

Workshop: Individual Microarray Application Training

We conduct microarray application workshops for interested customers. The agenda can be amended according to your application, requirements and timeframe.

Please review our proposed agenda and contact us in case of questions.

Webinar: Antigen Formats for Antigen-Specific Assays

Here, we explain different immunoassays and their respective antigen formats, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Webinar: PepSup™ – Standardize Immune Response Monitoring

Tutorial: Advanced Peptide Library Generation

This presentation discusses methods for generating overlapping peptide libraries covering large numbers of proteins, and how to identify post-translational modifications.

Tutorial: Microarray Technology for Humoral Immune Monitoring

We describe the peptide microarray platform, the assay principle and data processing as well as visualization techniques and tips for data interpretation.
