Certepetide
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Certepetide (CEND-1) is a bifunctional cyclic peptide (a.k.a. iRGD). Certepetide is a tumor-penetrating enhancer via RGD motif interaction with alphav-integrins and via activating NRP-1, and transforms the solid tumor microenvironment into a temporary agent conduit. Certepetide accumulates in tumors, and is used in the research of pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors.

Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
Alphav-integrins, NRP-1[3].
In Vivo
CEND-1 enhances the penetration of anticancer therapeutics specifically into tumours, but not into normal tissues, it also holds the potential for dose reductions, which can attenuate side effects[4].
CEND-1 (intravenously injected) increases the levels of co-administered Evans blue approximately threefold[5].

Multiplex immunofluorescence IHC
Multiplex immunofluorescence IHC detects multiple protein biomarkers in one tissue section by sequential antibody staining, HRP-mediated tyramide fluorophore deposition, heat-mediated antibody stripping, nuclear counterstaining, multispectral imaging, spectral unmixing, and digital cell phenotyping; TSA deposits fluorophore near the antigen so the fluorescence signal remains after primary and secondary antibodies are removed, enabling repeated staining cycles, including with antibodies from the same host species. Classic FFPE tumor immune-profiling applications use panels such as CD3, CD8, CD68/CD163, FOXP3, PD-1, PD-L1, pancytokeratin, Ki67, and DAPI to identify tumor cells, immune-cell subsets, checkpoint-marker expression, co-expression phenotypes, cell density, and spatial relationships in the tumor microenvironment.

Multiplex immunohistochemistry
Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC), also known as tyramide dignal amplification (TSA), is an enzymatic detection method that uses horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to perform high-density in-situ labeling of target proteins or nucleic acids.

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
