Human HLA-A*02:01&B2M&CMVpp65 (NLVPMVATV) Tetramer Protein (MHC-HE013T)

HLA-A*02:01&B2M&CMVpp65 (NLVPMVATV)

Shipped with dry ice.

The protein has a predicted MW of 258 kDa. The protein migrates to 120-180 kDa (HLA-A*02:01&streptavidin tetramer) and 11.9 kDa (B2M) based on Bis-Tris PAGE result under Non reducing (N) condition.

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a β-herpes virus with a double-stranded DNA, infects a wide variety of cells and establishes latency in the host. CMVpp65, a tegument protein of the herpes virus CMV, is the main viral antigen found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after viral infection and may activate cell-mediated immunity, accounting for 70-90% of the cytotoxic CD8+ T cells' (CTLs) response to CMV. Among the pp65-derived CTL epitope peptides, the 9-mer peptide 495NLVPMVATV503 (CMVpp65 495-503 peptide) is the most immunogenic T cell epitope predominantly displayed on HLA-A*02:01, the most common MHC-I allele in the population.

Supplied as 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4).
