alpha9-Gliadin (57-68)

α9-Gliadin(57-68) is an immunodominant gluten-derived epitope recognized by HLA-DQ2-restricted T cells in celiac disease. Its high resistance to gastrointestinal proteolysis contributes to persistent antigen exposure and makes it a standard peptide for celiac immunology research.

• adaptive immune and antigen-presentation research
• MHC/T-cell epitope studies
• autoimmunity or infectious-disease models
• immune assay development

Exact residue boundaries, species origin and MHC restriction are integral to experimental interpretation. Use the sequence-matched epitope required by the model system.
