alpha-Gliadin (31-43)

α-Gliadin(31-43) is a gluten-derived peptide that can trigger innate immune signaling associated with celiac disease, including IL-15 upregulation and p38 MAP kinase activation. It complements the adaptive T-cell epitope α9-gliadin(57-68).

• 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.
