Bioactivity | IALYLQQNW is a specific nonapeptide sequence derived from the tumor-associated antigen latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) encoded by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). As a latent T-cell epitope, IALYLQQNW is able to activate EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which are able to recognize and kill EBV-infected cells expressing LMP1. IALYLQQNW plays an important role in the immune response against EBV-associated tumors and can be used in the study of Hodgkin's disease and nasopharyngeal carcinoma[1]. |
