CMV pp65 (120-129)

CMV pp65 protein: CMV pp65 (120-129) is an epitope of the main component of the enveloped subviral particle pp65 (phosphoprotein ppUL83) of Cytomegalovirus, a member of herpes virus group. CMV pp65 antigens are used as target for the diagnosis of concomitant CMV end-organ disease. Applications of CMV pp65 (120-129): CMV pp65 (120-129) HLA-A*02:01-restricted is an immunodominant target of CD4+ and CD8+ responses to CMV. CMV pp65 (120-129) is used to stimulate in vitro pp65-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in PBMCs and to analyze by ELISPOT peptide epitope specificity and cytokine production like IFN-γ, IL-2 and TFN-α.
