Neoantigen Peptide Manufacturing Overview
The use of tumor specific neoantigen peptides used for personalized cancer treatments is growing at an exponential rate. Cancer has historically been treated with invasive surgery, chemotherapy or radiation to remove or destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy and radiation kill healthy cells along with the intended cancerous and can cause a long list of additional unwanted side effects. Better understanding of genetic mutations has made it possible for patient specific treatments, where the patients own immune system is used to fight their specific cancer. This can be much less invasive and less taxing on the patient than previously mentioned forms of treatment.
Neoantigen Manufacturing Expertise
vivitide is partnering with customers in the US and Europe to supply the peptides for neoantigen projects. Our agility and reliability are key elements in our relationship with our partners. We understand the urgency required and have developed processes to ensure their success. With turnaround times in as little as 3 weeks, vivitide is committed to ensuring the success of your neoantigen project.
The sequencing of a tumor cell can often provide well over 100 different neoantigen peptides of interest. With this and the likelihood of multiple patients at one time, it is important to ensure that there is ample band width for production of such projects. vivitide’s state of the art high-throughput production facility allows for the production of large orders with rapid turnaround times and high flexibility.
