IRBP (1-20), human TFA

• CAT Number: I045853
• Molecular Formula: C103H165F3N24O30S
• Molecular Weight: 2308.62
• Purity: ≥95%

IRBP (1-20), human TFA contains a major epitope for the H-2b haplotype. IRBP (1-20), human TFA induces experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in H-2b mice[1][2].
IRBP (1-20), human TFA induces EAU[2].
For determination of proliferative and cytokine responses, lymph node and spleen cells are collected 21 days after immunization and are stimulated in culture with the appropriate antigen. Cells of C57BL/6 mice and 129/J mice immunized with IRBP (1-20), human TFA proliferated in response to the peptide[2].
