| SIINFEKL-Cys, SIINFEKL is a well-known epitope derived from the ovalbumin protein (OVA), a major component of egg whites. It represents an 8-amino acid sequence (Ser-Ile-Ile-Asn-Phe-Glu-Lys-Leu), often referred to as OVA257-264, recognized by the immune system, particularly by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in C57BL/6 mice. This peptide has become a crucial tool in immunological studies, particularly for antigen presentation, T-cell response assays, and vaccine development. |
