NEW PepMix Peptide Pools: Lassa, Chikungunya, Rabies and more!

Published on 02/07/2024

As a result of the climate crisis, many neglected tropical diseases are moving northward due to higher temperatures and the subsequent spread of animal reservoirs. Meanwhile, zoonotic diseases endemic to the northern hemisphere, such as deadly rabies infections, are on the rise worldwide. We remain vigilant! The development of effective vaccines, drugs and diagnostics is essential to reduce and prevent the diseases’ adverse effects.

Monitor immune responses with JPT’s PepMix peptide pools and discover or map immune-dominant epitopes. Our peptide pools cover many applications, and represent common viral, bacterial or parasitic antigen sequences. We are now expanding our portfolio of infectious antigen pools with the launch of

TCR-T Research with PepMix™ Peptide Pools for Key Cancer Targets

Published on 15/05/2025 T-cell receptor-engineered T-cell therapy (TCR-T) is rapidly gaining momentum in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Unlike CAR-T cells, which recognize surface antigens, TCR-T cells can detect and eliminate cancer cells based on intracellular tumor-associated antigens presented by MHC molecules, offering broader therapeutic opportunities across solid and hematologic malignancies. A recent comprehensive review (Zhang et al., 2023) highlights the 16 major cancer targets currently pursued in TCR-T clinical trials. JPT is proud to support researchers in this exciting field by offering PepMix™ Peptide Pools for 15 of these 16 critical targets — and a partial PepMix™ for the remaining one (EGFRvIII). Main TCR-T Targets Available as PepMix™ Peptide Pools: AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein) EGFRvIII (partially available as ErbB2-ICD and ErbB2-ECD) EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) HA-1 HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) HPV (Human Papillomavirus) KK-LC-1 KRAS (mutated) MAGE-A1 MAGE-A3 MAGE-A4 MAGE-A10 MART-1 Mesothelin NY-ESO-1 WT1 Check all our tumor-associated antigen peptide pools and our more than 1500 individual epitope peptides. Why Choose PepMix™ Peptide Pools for TCR-T Research? Comprehensive Antigen Coverage: Each PepMix™ consists of overlapping peptides that span the full protein sequence, ensuring maximal coverage of known and novel epitopes — ideal for discovery, monitoring, and functional assays. High Quality and Batch Consistency: Our optimized synthesis and stringent QC processes guarantee high purity, reproducibility, and biological performance you can trust for clinical research. Experience with Difficult Sequences: Hydrophobic and aggregation-prone sequences? No problem. JPT’s proven expertise ensures even challenging targets are fully represented in your peptide pool. Immediate Availability: More than 450 different catalog PepMix™ peptide pools are available from stock — enabling faster project initiation and smoother workflows. In case we do not have you antigen, contact us! We can provide it to you as a custom PepMix™ Peptide Pool. Accelerate Your TCR-T Research PepMix™ Peptide Pools are widely used for: Screening TCRs for target specificity Monitoring T-cell responses post-infusion Identifying immunodominant epitopes Supporting preclinical and translational studies Advance your TCR-T programs with reliable tools trusted by researchers worldwide and learn more about The World of PepMix™ or contact us!

Potential benefits

Benefits of Custom PepMix™ Peptide Pools

Overlapping peptide pools are preferable to whole proteins for antigen-specific T-cell stimulation because: Simultaneous detection of CD4+ and CD8+ responses in a single sample Equivalent or better stimulation T-cell responses compared to whole protein antigens Antigen spanning peptide pools stimulate T-cells in an HLA independent manner All epitopes covered, epitope spreading addressed Purified peptide pools eliminate risk of toxic inhibition of T-cell responses No false positive T-cell stimulation caused by deletion peptides Superior control compared to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (ConA) Improved responses in stored blood and PBM cells compared to whole proteins High-batch-to-batch reproducibility Reliable chemical and biochemical quality control and quality assurance for peptide synthesis and peptide pool generation Prolonged shelf stability when stored freeze dried
