HHV8 (K8.1) Peptide Pool, STEMCELL Technologies (CAT#: STEM-CT-0805-ZJF)

Stimulating T cells with HHV8 (K8.1) Peptide Pool releases downstream cytokines and upregulates activation markers, enabling antigen-specific T cells to be detected or isolated for analysis. HHV8 (K8.1) Peptide Pool is a lyophilized mixture of 55 peptides from glycoprotein K8.1 of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and consists of 15-mer peptides with 11-amino-acid overlaps that cover amino acids 1 - 228 on K8.1. Expressed in the late-lytic phase, K8.1 is a viral envelope protein that binds to heparin sulfate on the cell surface and facilitates HHV 8 infection (Zoeteweij et al; Birkmann et al.; Wang et al.). Viral peptide pools are useful for a broad range of applications, including vaccine development, immunological research, and diagnostic assay development.
