Ovalbumin(257-264) antigen peptide CAS NO.138831-86-4

Ovalbumin(257-264) antigen peptide is a synthetic eight-amino acid peptide derived from chicken ovalbumin, serving as a well-characterized MHC class I-restricted CD8⁺ T-cell epitope. This high-purity research-grade antigen is essential for studying cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses, antigen presentation, and T-cell-mediated immunity, making it a standard tool in immunological and cancer immunotherapy research.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

The peptide is processed and presented on MHC class I molecules by antigen-presenting cells, where it binds to the H-2Kᵇ allele in mouse models. This complex engages with specific T-cell receptors on CD8⁺ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, leading to T-cell activation, proliferation, and the release of cytotoxic molecules such as perforin and granzymes, thereby initiating an antigen-specific immune response that targets cells presenting the epitope.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This peptide is indicated for immunological research applications, including in vitro and in vivo CTL activation assays, dendritic cell vaccination studies, tumor immunotherapy models, and as a positive control in T-cell-based functional assays. It is widely used in mouse models (e.g., C57BL/6) to investigate CD8⁺ T-cell biology, immune memory, and the efficacy of cancer vaccines.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Ovalbumin(257-264) antigen peptide is a research reagent and is not approved for clinical use. However, it is instrumental in preclinical studies that have validated antigen-specific T-cell responses, supported the development of adoptive T-cell therapies and cancer vaccines, and contributed to the foundational knowledge enabling current immunotherapies, though it has no direct therapeutic efficacy in patients.
