Neoepitope Identification Service

With our cutting-edge cellular technologies and accumulated experience, Creative Biolabs has developed a comprehensive platform for neoantigen-based cancer immunotherapy development.

Introduction of Neoantigen Identification

The neoantigen can stimulate the immune system against cancer, which is not only the key to distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells, but also the most critical "hit" in the development of effective anti-tumor vaccines for immuno-oncology research. Creative Biolabs leverages a unique and comprehensive sequencing portfolio that combines proprietary information algorithms and computational workflow to drive discovery of neoantigens.

Our comprehensive portfolio of neoantigen identification services combines highly accurate neoantigen prediction algorithms with our genomics/genomic sequencing platform technology to optimize the flow of neoantigen assays. It allows us to extend our comprehensive IO service portfolio based on transcriptomics analysis and somatic/germline genomics analysis to facilitate our clients' research projects.

Neoantigen Identification Pipeline

To screen neoantigens with potential immunogenicity, a complete and quick prediction pipeline (see Fig.1a) with sequencing technologies and computational tools has been well developed. To get good tumor-specific and immunogenic neoantigens, the main computational modules commonly applied are listed below:

• Peptide mutation calling with a set of bioinformatic tools could select candidate neoantigens (Fig.1b).
• HLA typing could identify distinct MHC-I peptides for CD8+ T cells or MHC-II peptides for CD4+ T cells (Fig.1c).
• HLA binding prediction could estimate the binding affinity and specificity of candidate neoantigens and HLA alleles (Fig.1d).
• T cell recognition prediction could validate the immunogenicity of neoantigens with the specific HLA allele and TCRs (Fig.1e).
