Neoantigen Specific T cells For Cancer Immunotherapy
Neoantigen specific T cells for cellular cancer immunotherapy An effective anti-tumor immune response in human is marked by presence of T cells reactive against neoantigens. Neoantigens are HLA-bound unique peptides arise from tumor-specific somatic mutations. Neoantigens are highly immunogenic because they are not present in normal tissues and hence...

Frequently asked questions
How are oligonucleotides synthesized?
Oligonucleotides can be synthesized using solid-phase (Peptides) and one pot liquid phase (enzymatic) method in the lab for milligram to multi-kilogram scale. Steps involved in solid-phase Oligo synthesis are detritylation, coupling, oxidation and capping. One-pot liquid phase oligo synthesis requires polymerase enzyme, template oligonucleotide and nucleotide triphosphate as starting materials.
How accuracy of chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides is maintained?
Accuracy of chemical synthesis of Oligonucleotides is maintained by maintaining the order of starting materials used during the synthesis process.
What are oligonucleotide drugs?
Oligonucleotide drugs help modulate the effect of a disease-causing gene by targeted degradation/activation of gene expression or gene editing. This activity may cause the disease to be controlled or cured.
How stable are the Oligos?
Oligos are stable for 6 weeks in buffer when stored at 37°C and for long-term stability is to be stored between -20°C to -80°C. During storage, oligos should not be exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays.
What is the oligo synthesis scale?
We can Synthesis 10-40-mer oligonucleotide up to 1 gram scale.
Can you incorporate a specific modification into Oligo?
We can perform all standard modifications, with or without backbone modification, for which Phosphoramidites are commercially available. We also have the capabilities of making any customized Phosphoramidite in-house.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Oligonucleotides?
For a period of 6 weeks, Oligos can be stored in T10E1 buffer at 37°C and for the long term, Oligonucleotides can be dried down and stored with or without TE buffer at -20°C.
Does Oligonucleotide have a phosphate on the 5’ or 3’ end?
Typical Oligonucleotide synthesis does not produce phosphate on the 5’ or 3’ end. On request, oligonucleotides can be synthesized with phosphate on the 5’ or 3’ end.
