Bioactivity | MART-1 nonamer antigen (LAGIGILTV) is a melanoma antigen that can be recognized by T cells. MART-1 nonamer antigen behaves as a superagonist by in vitro inducing specific T cells with enhanced immunological functions. MART-1 nonamer antigen can be used as a model to design peptides for use in anti-tumour vaccines[1]. |
