HSV-1 gB (498-505)

HSV-1 glycoprotein B(498-505) is an immunodominant H-2Kb-restricted CD8 T-cell epitope. It is commonly used for herpes simplex virus-specific CTL, tetramer and memory T-cell studies.

• T-cell and antigen-presentation research
• viral or bacterial immunity
• autoimmune disease models
• vaccine and immune-monitoring assays

Exact residue boundaries, terminal modifications and MHC restriction are integral to experimental interpretation. Select the species- and model-matched epitope for quantitative immune assays.
