  • Patent number: 11918635
    Abstract: A method and a platform for detecting an immunogenicity of a tumor neoantigen are provided. Specifically, the detection method includes the following steps: culturing human peripheral blood monocytes ex vivo for 13 days, adding an antigenic peptide fragment of human influenza virus and stimulating and activating cytokines, antigenic peptides, and immunoadjuvants during the 13 days, and finally conducting enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) chromogenic reaction and instrument-based scanning, counting, and analysis to detect the immunogenicity of tumor neoantigen. An application of the detection method and platform in biomedicine is provided. Compared with the prior art, the detection method and platform have advantages and characteristics of a short detection period, high convenience, low consumption of experimental cells, and low detection cost. Therefore, the detection method and platform can be used for ex vivo high-throughput assay for the immunogenicity of the tumor neoantigen.

  • Publication number: 20220028487
    Abstract: A deep learning-based method for predicting a binding affinity between human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and peptides includes: step S101: encoding HLA sequences; step S102: constructing a sequence of an HLA-peptide pair; step S103: constructing an encoding matrix of the HLA-peptide pair; step S104: constructing an affinity prediction model for HLA-peptide binding. The new method considers the effects of the protein sequences of HLAs and the sequences of the peptides on affinity strength and develops a deep learning-based method for predicting a binding affinity between HLAs and peptides.

  • Publication number: 20210363589
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for integrating multi-omics data to extract a microsatellite instability (MSI)-based neoantigen for immunotherapy. The method includes the following steps: S1, integrating DNA and RNA sequencing data of a patient to detect the microsatellite instability (MSI) of the patient accurately; S2, translating open reading frames (ORFs) influenced by the detected MSI to acquire an MSI proteome; S3, mapping the MSI proteome against a normal human proteome to acquire a sample-specific proteome; and S4, acquiring a sample neoantigen. The new method reduces the rate of false positives in MSI detection, which is especially relevant for improving the efficacy of current clinical immunotherapy.

  • Publication number: 20210310010
    Abstract: A plasmid vector for expressing mRNA in vitro, a construction method and an application thereof are provided. The plasmid vector includes a poly(adenyl deoxyribonucleotide) (poly(dA)) fragment formed by more than 30 adenyl deoxyribonucleotides at the 3?-end tail of a gene to be inserted for expression. The plasmid vector for expressing mRNA in vitro in the present invention can express a target protein gene and a poly(A) formed by 60 adenyl ribonucleotides, and the expressed mRNA directly possesses the poly(A) without additional tailing operation. In addition, the mRNA transcribed in vitro shows stronger mRNA stability and higher protein expression ability after being transfected into cells.

  • Publication number: 20210299058
    Abstract: A delivery system for mRNA nucleic acid drugs, a preparation method and an application thereof are provided. The delivery system includes lipid nanoparticles for loading one or more kinds of mRNA molecules, wherein the lipid nanoparticles are prepared from raw materials including an ionizable cationic lipid, a phospholipid auxiliary lipid, cholesterol, and a polyethylene glycol-derivatized phospholipid. In the mRNA nucleic acid drug targeted intracellular delivery system based on the non-viral carrier of the present invention, the mRNA is concentrated and loaded by the electrostatic interaction between the ionizable cationic lipid and the mRNA. Phospholipid auxiliary lipid component-mediated pH sensitivity and late endosomal escape enable mRNA nucleic acid drugs to be efficiently delivered to target cells and then released into the cytoplasm of the target cells for exerting a pharmacodynamic effect.
