| Bioactivity | S2-16 is a synthetic peptide from the S2 region of cardiac myosin. S2-16 is a cryptic epitope that induces myocarditis in Lewis rats. A cryptic epitope is an epitope that is not recognized by antibodies or T cells after the animal is immunized with the intact antigen. S2-16 can be used to study the mechanism of autoimmune myocarditis[1]. |
