Peptides & Amino Acids

Analog of the native Melan-A (26-35) decapeptide derives from the melanocyte lineage-specific protein Melan-A, MART-1, which is expressed in almost 75-100% of primary and metastatic melanomas. The region 26-35 of Melan-A protein acts as an antigenic peptide that is recognized by CD8+ tumor-reactive cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) for designing antigen-specific cancer vaccines1. It has been shown that CD8+ Melan-A-specific CTLs isolated from melanoma patients efficiently lyse the Melan-A-expressing HLA-A*0201+ melanoma cell line. However, CTLs preferentially recognize the Melan-A (26-35) peptide as compared with the Melan-A (27-35) peptide. Moreover, the Melan-A (26-35) A27L analog (ELAGIGILTV) has a higher binding affinity to HLA-A*0201 than the native Melan-A (26-35) peptide (EAAGIGILTV), and consequently displays more potent antigenicity and immunogenicity. It has been reported that the concentration of Melan-A (26-35) A27L analog required to obtain 50% of maximal antigenic activity (

NY-ESO-1 (157-165) peptide – SLLMWITQC HLA-A*02 Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) allele HLA-A*02 allele is expressed in class I Human MHC Leukocyte Antigens (HLA), that are cell surface receptors, presenting peptides to the immune system. If a non-self-peptide is recognized by cytotoxic T-cells in the blood, cell death will be initiated via apoptosis. NY-ESO-1 protein Peptides presented by MHC class I molecule, are usually between 7 and 11 amino acids, originating from proteins expressed by the cell. SLLMWITQC peptide derives from New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1 : UniProt – P78358) protein, which is part of a well-characterized group of cancer/testis antigens (CTAs). Normally, NY-ESO-1 expression is restricted to germ cells and placental cells. However it is also expressed in 82% of neuroblastomas and 46% of melanomas, as well as in many other solid tumors and hematological malignancies. NY-ESO-1 (157-165) peptide application Class I
