About this item
Stimulating T cells with VZV (gE) Peptide Pool releases downstream cytokines and upregulates activation markers, enabling antigen-specific T cells to be detected or isolated for analysis. VZV (gE) Peptide Pool is a lyophilized mixture of 153 peptides from the envelope glycoprotein E (gE) of Varicella-zoster virus (VZV; strain Dumas), and consists of 15-mer peptides with 11-amino-acid overlaps that cover amino acids 1 - 623 on gE. gE is essential for VZV replication (Mo et al., 2002) and may contribute to viral pathogenesis by facilitating epithelial cell-cell contacts (Mo et al., 2000). Viral peptide pools are useful for a broad range of applications, including vaccine development, immunological research, and diagnostic assay development.
