CEF Control Peptide Pool HLA Class I PLUS

Pool of 32 HLA class I-restricted T cell epitopes from human cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and influenza virus. Stimulates the release of IFN-γ from CD8⁺ T-cells in individuals with certain highly frequent HLA types (HLA: A1, A2, A0201, A3, A11, A24, A68, A6081, B7, B8, B18, B27, B35, B44, B0702). The 32 peptides cover 15 HLA types. Pool used by the NIH [1]; based on the original peptide pool described by Currier, et al. (see below) [2] with additional nine peptides. Useful as a peptide specific positive control in ELISPOT, CTL and intracellular cytokine assays using human PBMC.
