Description

The H5N1 peptide pool contains 50 peptides from Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (A/H5N1). Peptide sequences are T-cell MHC-I and MHC-II epitopes.

The purity of each peptide is ≥95% (HPLC-MS)

Application

The in-vitro stimulation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) with Avian Flu (H5N1) ImmuneSelect activates memory T-cells specific to the virus, leading to cytokine secretion and the increased expression of specific surface markers. These biomarkers can be detected using various techniques: ELISpot kits quantify cytokine-producing cells, while flow cytometry measures cells expressing these specific surface markers.
