PE-A*02:01/CMV pp65 (NLVPMVATV) MHC Tetramer

CAT#: MHC-LC348

This product is a tetramer of biotinylated peptide/MHC complex with streptavidin mainly composed of CMV-derived peptide of NLVPMVATV sequence covering 495-503 and A*02:01 molecule. The pMHC tetramer recognizes human CD8 T cells, and can be used in the analysis of individual antigen-specific T cells.

Target

  • Antigen Introduction
  • Human cytomegalovirus is a species of the Cytomegalovirus genus of viruses, which in turn is a member of the viral family known as Herpesviridae or herpesviruses. It is typically abbreviated as HCMV or, commonly but more ambiguously, as CMV. It is also known as human herpesvirus-5 (HHV-5). pp65 (ppUL83), the major constituent of both virions and noninfectious particles called dense bodies, localizes predominantly to the nucleus after virus penetration and accumulates in both nucleus and cytoplasm as virus matures late in infection, where it may associate with a kinase.
  • Alternative Names
  • CMV pp65; Human cytomegalovirus pp65; UL83; lower matrix protein
