Creative Peptides Launches MHC Peptide for Scientific Research

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. - May 20, 2018 - PRLog -- Being one of the major peptide manufacturers across the globe, Creative Peptides launched a series of MHC (https://www.creative-peptides.com/product/mhc-peptide-tetramer-52.html) peptide tetramers on May 15, 2018, a new category added to its rather comprehensive supply list covering various peptides like cosmetic peptides, ghrelin peptides, cell-penetrating peptides, anti-aging peptides. All could be used for either research or industrial purpose. The newly launched MHC peptides are ready-to-use reagents conjugated to a fluorochrome group such as Brilliant Violet 421 (BV421), phycoerythrin (PE), or allophycocyanin (APC).

MHC, with the full name as major histocompatibility complex, is a very important regulator during the cell-mediated adaptive immune response as it decides the graft rejection, or tissue compatibility. Our immune systems have several ways to fight against unpleasant intruders like viruses, bacteria or cancer cells. Antibodies and T cells are the last yet the most powerful defense line that produces humoral response and cell-mediated response, respectively.

"The history of using the development of reagents consisting of soluble MHC peptides to promote the revolution of antigen-specific T cells can be traced back to 1996," says Mr. Wilson, Product Manager at Creative Peptides. "Recently, Stanford University School of Medicine has found presence of MHC-peptides tetrameric complexes, or MHC tetramers, in detecting antigen-specific T cells. This makes it more efficient and easier to visualize, quantify, and sort antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) directly from a wide range of biological samples. Moreover, it has transformed scientists understanding of cellular immune responses. Till now, this method has been widely practiced in laboratories around the world."

Aiming at providing every peptide our customers need, Creative Peptides develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of MHC-peptide Tetramers, including MHC-peptides Tetramer ClassⅠand MHC-peptides Tetramer ClassⅡ. "In addition, we provide one-stop MHC-Peptide Tetramer services, including manufacturing of MHC-peptide Tetramer, custom synthesis of related peptides, and even MHC-Tetramer assay services. With strong research background and tremendous experiences during the last twenty years, Creative Peptides could be of great help in solving clients' scientific and clinical challenges by providing consultative help as well as superior technical and customer support," further added Mr. Wilson.
