Product Information

• Name: MAGE-A2 (157-166) scrambled
• Synonyms: H-VLVYFQEIGL-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: SB-peptide offers the scrambled version of MAGE-A2 (157-166). VLVYFQEIGL can be used as a negative control of MAGE-A2 (157-166) studies.SB-peptide offers also MAGE-A2 (157-166) (see section MAGE-A2 (157-166)).MAGE-A2 protein:MAGE-A2 (157-166) is an epitope of Melanoma Antigen Gene A2 and is one of the most Cancer-Testis Antigens (CTA) overexpressed in tumors of different histological types, such as prostate cancer. Type of MAGE-A expressed in tumors cells varies according to the type of tumor. The expression of MAGE-A2 causes the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and decreases the chemosensitivity.Applications of MAGE-A2 (157-166):MAGE-A2 (157-166) is used to stimulate specific immune response, cytotoxic T cell response and to analyze the cytokine production in PBMCs by ELISPOT assay. In transgenic mouse, it has been demonstrated that MAGE-A2 (157-166) was capable of eliciting a CTL response presented by HLA-A*02:01 molecules. MAGE-A2 (157-166) has been reported to elicit CTL that could lyse tumor cell expressing both HLA-A*02:01 and MAGE-A2 by stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with MAGE-A2 (157-166).Sequence : VLVYFQEIGL
