Vectors.

Take control of your discovery process with tANCHOR vectors — the flexible, next-generation platform designed to adapt to your research needs. Built on a smart tetraspanin-based system, tANCHOR lets you easily insert your own peptides or epitopes for stable, high-efficiency display on the cell surface. Whether you’re targeting novel antigens, developing therapeutic antibodies, or designing custom vaccines, tANCHOR gives you the freedom to design, test, and innovate — all with native-like presentation and maximal accessibility on the cell surface.

tANCHOR vectors are available for purchase from authorized distributors.

Available Vectors

ptANCHOR Vectors for Surface Display and Transfection Control. The ptANC82-V5-His-mCherry and ptANC63-V5-His-mCherry vectors are ready-to-use tools for customizable surface protein display.

• ptANC82-V5-His-mCherry uses a CD82 anchor

• ptANC63-V5-His-mCherry a CD63 anchor.

Both include a C-terminal mCherry tag, providing a built-in transfection control for easy tracking of expression. These vectors are designed for flexibility: The V5-His tag can be replaced with your protein or peptide of interest, enabling personalized display using tANCHOR technology. Additionally, ptANC82-V5-His-mCherry can serve as a positive control, confirming successful display of the V5-6xHis epitope on the cell surface.

Application-ready vector versions are available for a wide range of research applications, including immunology, antibody screening, and cell-based assays.
Below is a short overview — for a complete list, please refer to availability from distribution.

SARS-CoV-2

Track and Induce Antibodies Against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD

• ptANCHOR82-Wuhan-RBD-mCherry,

• ptANCHOR82-Alpha-RBD-mCherry,

• ptANCHOR82-Beta-RBD-mCherry,

• ptANCHOR82-Gamma-RBD-mCherry,

ENCOREP

The ECOREP system requires two vectors:
The ptANCHORC vector, which implements the tANCHOR technology to display a flanked protein of interest on the cell surface with TEV protease cleavage sites, and the pTEV-SEC vector, which secretes an optimized TEV protease to enable controlled release of the displayed protein from the surface.

• pTEV-SEC

• ptANCHOR82-V5-His-mCherry

Secreeting soluble ACE2

psACE2-V5-His is a vector designed to secrete soluble ACE2 fused with V5 and His tags. It has been used to establish a cell-based neutralizing ELISA.
