Tetanus Toxin 830-843 (P2) Peptide QYIKANSKFIGITE
€133.20*
Description
A universal CD4+ T-cell helper epitope and gold-standard positive control for human immunomonitoring and vaccine design.
The Tetanus Toxin 830–843 peptide (QYIKANSKFIGITE, epitope ID: 52929), commonly referred to as the P2 helper peptide, is one of the most extensively characterized immunodominant T-cell epitopes in immunology. Derived from the heavy chain of Clostridium tetani (strain Massachusetts / E88) neurotoxin (UniProt: P04958), this 14-mer sequence represents a primary T-cell target of vaccine-induced memory following standard Tetanus Toxoid immunization. Because tetanus vaccination is widely implemented, virtually all human donors harbour stable, long-term memory T cells against this sequence, making it an indispensable control for assay validation and conjugate vaccine development.
Key Features & Benefits
- Promiscuous HLA Class II Binding: Binds across a broad range of HLA-DR alleles: HLA-DRB1*01:01, HLA-DRB1*07:01, HLA-DRB1*11:01, HLA-DRB1*03:01, HLA-DRB5*01:01, HLA-DRB1*13:02 and more.
- Extensively Validated: Backed by over 40 scientific publications and validated in dozens of T-cell, B-cell, and MHC ligand assays worldwide.
- Gold-Standard Positive Control: Reliable recall antigen for evaluating functional T-cell viability (IFN-gamma, IL-2, TNF-alpha) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
- Complementary T-Helper Target: Frequently paired or benchmarked alongside the P30 epitope (TT 947–967) to provide robust, promiscuous CD4+ T-cell help in synthetic vaccine design, conjugate constructs, and multi-epitope recall panels.
- High Chemical Quality: peptides&elephants' quality standards ensure exceptional quality, lot-to-lot consistency, and reliable assay performance.
Applications
PBMC Quality Control & Recall Assays: Serves as a robust positive control in ELISpot, Fluorospot, Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS), and proliferation assays.
T-Cell Helper Sequence for Conjugates: Widely utilized as a universal P2 helper T-cell epitope incorporated into synthetic peptide vaccines, neoantigen constructs, and carbohydrate-protein conjugates to boost immunogenicity.
MHC Class II Binding Kinetics: Ideal reference ligand for HLA-DR competitive binding and peptide exchange assays.
