This peptide pool is intended for studying immune responses in rhesus and cynomolgus macaques against CyCMV TP-UL83 and rhCMV Rh112 using immunoassays such as ELISpot and FluoroSpot. The peptide pool induces cytokine secretion from antigen-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Serum/Plasma samples
Description
The CyCMV+RhCMV (TP-UL83+Rh112) scanning pool induces secretion of e.g., IFN-γ from monkey T cells. It consists of 133 peptides derived from cynomolgus macaque cytomegalovirus (CyCMV) Tegument phosphoprotein UL83 (Uniprot ID: G8H1B8) and 133 peptides derived from rhesus macaque cytomegalovirus (rhCMV) Rh112 (Uniprot ID: Q772N2). The peptides are 15-mers overlapping with 11 amino acids and cover the complete proteins. The mean purity of the peptides is 83%.
The peptide pool has been validated in IFN-γ ELISpot and FluoroSpot using PBMC from cynomolgus and rhesus macaques.

Performance
PBMC from rhesus macaque (300,000 cells/well) were stimulated with the CyCMV (TP-UL83) + RhCMV (Rh112) scanning pool in Monkey IFN-γ ELISpot. Analysis was done with Mabtech IRIS.
PBMC from rhesus macaque (300,000 cells/well) were incubated overnight in the absence or presence of the CyCMV (TP-UL83) + RhCMV (Rh112) scanning pool in Monkey IFN-γ FluoroSpot. Analysis was done with Mabtech IRIS.
