• immunology and infectious-disease research
• T-cell or innate-immune assays
• host-pathogen interaction studies
• antimicrobial or antigen-presentation research

Exact sequence, HLA restriction, disulfide connectivity, spacer chemistry and fluorescent labeling define the reagent. Use sequence- and modification-matched controls in quantitative assays.
