The antigenic peptides hgp100(25–33) (KVPRNQDWL and KVPRNQDWLC-6-ahx-lysine (biotin)) [81 (link)], mgp10025–33 (EGSRNQDWL), human gp100280–288 (YLEPGPVTA and YLEPGPVTAC-6-ahx-lysine (biotin)), Trp1222–229 (TAYRYHLL and TAYRYHLLC-6-ahx-lysine (biotin)), Trp2180–188 (SVYDFFVWL and SVYDFFVWLC-6-ahx-lysine (biotin)) and MART1(26–35) (ELAGIGILTV and ELAGIGILTVC-6-ahx-lysine (biotin)) were synthesized at the GlycO2peptide unit at our lab by solid phase peptide synthesis using Fmoc chemistry on a Symphony peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA). The linker 6-ahx and the special amino acid lysine(biotin) were purchased at Iris Biotech GmbH (Marktredwitz, Germany) The peptides were purified on a preparative Ultimate 3000 HPLC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Breda, the Netherlands) over a Vydac 218MS1022 C18 25 × 250mm column (Grace Davidson, Worms, Germany). Quality control was performed by UPLC-MS on a Ultimate 3000 UHPLC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) hyphenated with a LCQ-Deca XP Iontrap ESI mass spectrometer (Thermo Finnigan, Waltham, MA, USA) using a RSLC 120 C18 Acclaim 2.2um particle 2.1 × 250 mm column and ionizing the sample in positive mode.
