NEW PepMix Peptide Pools for the highly mutated SARS2 variant Pirola (BA.2.86)!

Published on 23/11/2023

In late summer, the WHO announced the emergence and spread of the highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.2.86 (also known as the Pirola variant), which exhibits over 30 mutations in the spike glycoprotein and has been classified as a variant of concern. We provide researchers with up-to-date PepMix Peptide Pools for immune monitoring and immune response profiling that cover the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ spike glycoprotein and respective RBD:

PepMix SARS-CoV-2 (Spike BA.2.86)

PepMix SARS-CoV-2 (S-RBD BA.2.86)

Our most widely used SARS-CoV-2 peptide pool covers the spike glycoprotein of the Wuhan strain and serves as the native standard when studying the virus’ immune response. Additional information on SARS2 including wild-type and variants, can be found on our website and our references .

Speaking of endemic infections, please explore our continuously updated portfolio of PepMix Peptide Pools covering common Influenza antigens. We are dedicated to keeping you equipped during new developments.

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
