Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (CEA peptide) is a 9-amino acid HLA-A0201-binding cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope peptide derived from carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The IC50 of Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 binding to HLA-A0201 is 2 μM. Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 binds to HLA-A0201 to form a peptide-MHC I complex, which is recognized by the T cell receptor (TCR) of CAP1-specific CD8+ CTLs, thereby inducing antigen-specific T cell activation, IFN-γ production, and CTL-mediated lysis of target cells. Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 is used in research on CEA-specific CTL responses and colorectal cancer.

IC50 & Target
[3]|
HLA-A*0201 2 μM (IC50) |
In Vitro
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (CEA peptide) (0.1 nM-10 μM; 1 h), when loaded onto T2 cells and co-cultured with CAP1-specific CD8+ T cell clones for 6 h, induces concentration-dependent IFN-γ production; these T cell clones recognize the corresponding target cells even at nM and lower CAP1 concentrations[1].
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (0.1 nM-10 μM; 1 h), when loaded onto T2 cells and co-incubated with CAP1-specific CD8+ T cell clones for 4 h, mediates concentration-dependent lysis of T2 target cells[1].
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (50 μM; 18 h) stabilizes HLA-A0201 molecules on the T2 cell surface after incubation, with a fluorescence index (FI) of 1.9, demonstrating strong HLA-A0201 binding affinity[2].
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 competitively binds to HLA-A0201 with an IC50 of 2 μM[3].
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (1 h) loaded onto T2 target cells and then co-incubated with CAP1-specific T-Vac8 CTL for 4 h mediates lysis of T2 cells, with the CAP1 concentration corresponding to half-maximal lysis being approximately 10-2 μg/mL[4].
Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 forms a stable peptide-MHC I complex with HLA-A0201, with a DT50 of 4 h[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Research Protocol for Cancer Immunology
Cancer immunology studies how the immune system recognizes, suppresses, edits, or fails to eliminate malignant cells through tumor antigen release, antigen presentation, T-cell priming, immune trafficking, tumor-cell killing, and feedback inhibition in the tumor microenvironment. The cancer-immunity cycle links tumor antigenicity, dendritic-cell priming, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, cytotoxic function, and immune-checkpoint regulation to tumor rejection or immune escape. Immune-checkpoint pathways such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 suppress antitumor T-cell activity and can be therapeutically blocked, but many tumors remain resistant because of poor antigen presentation, weak T-cell infiltration, suppressive myeloid cells, regulatory T cells, and tumor-intrinsic immune-exclusion programs. Unresolved questions include which immune-cell states predict response, how tumor-intrinsic pathways exclude immune cells, how myeloid suppression limits checkpoint blockade, and which combination strategies

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
