Collaborating with ImmuneSpec

A renewed approach to unlock immunogenic regions of immunopeptides for the development of safe, effective vaccines and therapeutics.

Day 0

Project initiation meeting

Discuss project needs & prior research.

Starting off on the right foot.

At ImmuneSpec, we begin by understanding your project goals in a meeting between you and our project team. This meeting covers project type, target peptides (known/unknown), HLA-type of interest and required input material. This ensures delivery of optimal results and addressing the research question effectively.

During the initiation meeting, we usually discuss:

Project information

Sample details

  • Deadlines
  • Objectives
  • Specific requirements
  • Sample intake details
  • Sample amounts
  • Other additional data/ materials
Day 1-14

Sample intake & preparation

Preparing samples & lab setup.

Prepping well, is half the work.

After the project kickoff, the second step involves delivering your samples to us or through one of our affiliated partners. As the nature of the samples varies depending on the specific project, we always make sure to discuss storage, handling and (bio)safety requirements.

Project information

  • How will the samples be prepared
  • Requirements for immunogenicity testing, neoantigen discovery or vaccine development
Day 15-28

Affinity  purification and MS analysis

Executing on the laboratory work and data analysis.

Analyzing the samples.

After  purification, immune peptides are measured by using a TimsTOF SCP Instrument  coupled to an Evosep One chromatography system. Following the measurements, advanced algorithms are deployed to match the obtained MS  spectra with the corresponding protein sequence in the database.

Lab hardware

Report generation

Turning data into ready-to-use insights.

Answers to your questions.

Upon delivery of the report, a dedicated meeting is scheduled to present the results and guide you through the report, elucidate the significance of the obtained findings, provide expert interpretation, and offer valuable recommendations for the next steps in advancing your project.
