T Cell based CFSE Assay Service

Background What We Can Offer Workflow Why Choose Us FAQs Customer Review Related Services Contact Us

The findings that each cancer contains many mutant genes do not present in normal tissues have prompted considerable interest in the cancer epitope landscape. Creative Biolabs is dedicated to offering cancer epitope identification, assay development, and validation services to our clients with the most potential candidates to accelerate their drug development.

CFSE-based Proliferation Assay

Cancer antigens are the consequence of somatic mutations in individual tumors and are not present in normal tissues. The lack of in-depth study of the peptide epitope information of the individual tumors impairs the advance in tumor immunity study.

The specific response of T cells to target tumor cells can be applied to analyzing cancer epitopes. The carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) based method is a non-radioactive way to measure cell expansion. When penetrating living cells, it undergoes esterase cleavage and conjugates with intracellular protein covalently, generating fluorescently labeled cells. As cell proliferation, the CFSE is equally divided into progeny cells.

T Cell-based CSFE Assay Services at Creative Biolabs

The CFSE-based fluorescent dye assay has widely been used to study the cytotoxicity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vivo. Based on this experiment, Creative Biolabs applies it to T cell-relevant cancer epitope analysis and develops an easy and quick assay. The assay is carried out based on the cytotoxicity of specific T cells on target cells and following the reduction of target cell signals.
