We know, and We Care

There is not a lot of room in the TOL (Thinking out Loud) Newsletter to share our feelings about the news in the USA, but we want you to know that we ARE aware, and we REALLY CARE about the negative impact of recent events. The world is a better place when we all have a voice and we support each other. Most Americans agree – see IPSOS poll here. To stay positive, try alternative news sources. Want to know where find them? email me here! or follow me on Linkedin. 

Super Classy (Class I)

If you are an ISPRI user, there are some great new features to check out.  For CAR-T and gene therapy fanatics, Class I risk is just as important as Class II.  Note that we’re providing epitope-content rather than risk scores for Class I, as shown below. 

Whether you need a quick comparison across proteins, a deep dive into epitope binding predictions, or a visual representation of epitope content, these tools make it easier to assess risk and optimize your designs. Would these tools be helpful for your team? Let’s talk! 

Are you already an ISPRI user, or would you like to see these new Class I features in action? Sign up for our webinar on March 12th!
