Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

In this study, we propose to use a combination of cell-surface capture and mass spectrometry on patient tumors to identify tumor-associated cell-surface proteins that are targetable with next-generation immunotherapies. These therapeutic antibodies and their derivatives have transformed the therapeutic landscape of cancer patients. Only 20% of cell-surface proteins have been investigated so far for drug development. Untargeted proteomics has been the gold standard to identify tumor-associated proteins. However, it suffers from low sensitivity for cell-surface proteins. Cytosolic proteins are much more abundant and soluble than cell-surface proteins which results in limited resolution of the entire cell-surface proteome.
