Translational Oncology
NanoString Platform for Research and Translational Applications

(1)  Use the commercial or customized NanoString panels to perform (on FFPE samples or small amounts of starting material, without amplification):
  • Identification of differentially expressed genes in tumor and paracancer tissues
  • Identification of CT antigen
  • T cell function gene set analysis
  • Cell type profiling
  • Functional enrichment analysis
(2)  Case studies:
  • Exploration on responses of animal models to anti-tumor drugs at transcriptional level
  • Time-ordered immune responses assessment in syngeneic tumor model after treatment
Genetically Engineered Animal Model
Siglec-15 KO animal model in C57BL/6 mice with CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing, facilitating immunotherapy research targeting Siglec-15.

Immuno-Oncology
Cancer Vaccine Discovery Platform

(1)  Tumor neo-antigen prediction and in vivo immunogenicity validation

(2)  Determine and validate immunogenicity of peptides using ELISpot in vitro assay

(3)  Validate immunogenicity of OVA mRNA vaccine using ELISpot in vitro assay

(4)  In vivo validation of peptide vaccine using B16F10 or CT26 tumor model

(5) In vivo validation of DC vaccine using B16F10 tumor model
