Survivin AM9 Peptide, AFLTVKKQM is a survivin-derived peptide from BIRC5, a member of the inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein family and a widely studied tumor-associated antigen.
Survivin as a Tumor-Antigen Research Target
Survivin is expressed at high levels in many proliferating and malignant cells and is associated with cell division and inhibition of apoptosis. Because of this expression pattern, survivin-derived peptides have been investigated as targets for T-cell immunology, peptide vaccination, antigen-presentation assays, and tumor-immunology research.
AM9 Sequence
Sequence: AFLTVKKQM
Reported position/context: 85-93
The AM9 peptide has been reported as a murine MHC class I survivin-derived peptide and used in immunization studies.
Potential Research Applications
- Survivin peptide-vaccine research
- T-cell stimulation assays
- MHC-binding studies
- Antigen presentation research
- ELISpot and cytokine-response assays
- Tumor immunology
Peptide-MHC restriction and immunogenicity depend on species, MHC allele, experimental system, and peptide formulation. Researchers should select the appropriate peptide and model for their study.
