Currently, there are no approved peptide vaccines for the treatment of leukemia, and a significant amount of research is still focused on preclinical trials. Collaborating with Alfa Cytology will expedite the progress of your peptide-based vaccines program for leukemia, leading to successful outcomes for your endeavor.
The peptide-based vaccination approach has been validated in studies targeting various types of cancer, demonstrating its ability to induce specific immune responses. However, its clinical efficacy in leukemia has not yet reached satisfactory levels. To design future effective clinical peptide vaccines, multiple challenges must be addressed and optimized, including the selection of antigen targets and the determination of optimal adjuvants and vaccination protocols.

When peptide vaccines are used as therapeutic cancer vaccines, peptides derived from tumor-associated antigens can be used to induce potent antitumor T-cell responses. Alfa Cytology provides comprehensive peptide vaccine development services, including but not limited to the following.
The key to leukemia immunotherapy lies in leukemia-specific antigens. We offer peptide vaccine development services based on leukemia-associated antigens (LAA) to address this crucial aspect. Through meticulous experimental procedures, we strive to identify the optimal peptide vaccines for you. We provide peptide vaccine development services based on the following LLA and can also offer customized services tailored to your project requirements.
Selection of Leukemia-associated Antigens
We assist in the selection of suitable epitopes from leukemia antigen proteins for the development of peptide vaccines.
Vaccine Formulation
We conduct experiments to test various experimental adjuvants and delivery systems that can stimulate immune responses against peptide vaccines.
Build Vaccine Candidates
By characterizing individual vaccine components, adjuvant-antigen complexes, kinetics, and molecular interactions, we can select vaccine candidates.
Preclinical Trials of Peptide-based Vaccine
Preclinical testing of candidate vaccines is conducted in leukemia models to assess the immunogenicity of the vaccine candidates.
Adjuvants
Our services include the development of novel adjuvants and improved vaccine adjuvant formulations. These adjuvants encompass protein agonists, aluminum-based adjuvants, nanoparticle-based adjuvants, and more. Through our assistance, we aim to help you achieve the goal of enhancing vaccine efficacy.
Peptide Delivery System
The limitations of peptide vaccines can be overcome by utilizing peptide delivery systems. These peptide delivery systems include PLGA, liposomes, and more. Through our services, we can assist you in incorporating drug delivery systems into vaccine formulations to facilitate the targeted delivery of peptides to APCs.
