An antigen with an increased half-life is provided for the formulation of more stable and consistent clinical diagnostic immunoassay controls and calibrators. An antigen analogue comprises a first and a second polypeptide which is identical or similar to corresponding terminal amino acid sequences of an antigen. The first and second polypeptides are connected with a PEG chain. Also provided are methods of calibrating assays using a compound disclosed herein.

The present invention provided the techniques and recipes for enhancing recombinant peptide production in microorganism like E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris and Bacillus subtilis. The designs of fusion protein with a polypeptide and high cell density fermentation process to over express the peptides are given. Methods for separation of polypeptides from fusion protein and methods for isolation and purification of peptides are mentioned. This invention also provides an uncomplicated and unique purification processes for manufacturing of Teriparatide, Liraglutide precursor and Semaglutide precursor with purifies of >98%.

The present invention relates to a method for removing water from a compound solution and performing conjugate acid conversion. The method uses a nanometer film to perform reverse osmosis for the compound solution to remove water, and provides a conjugate acid to replace the acidic substances in the compound solution in order to obtain compound conjugate acid salts. The method of the present invention can effectively reduce the water content of the compound solution and replace the conjugate acid of the compound to form the desired compound conjugate acid salt.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
