Vaccinia Virus B8R (20-27)

Vaccinia B8R(20-27) is an immunodominant H-2Kb-restricted CD8 T-cell epitope. It is used in poxvirus infection models to quantify antiviral T-cell expansion, contraction and memory.

• 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.
