HIV-1 B Gag Peptide Pool

Pool of 123 peptides derived from a peptide scan (15mers with 11 aa overlap) through Gag polyprotein (Uni-Prot ID P04591) of Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 group M subtype B (isolate HXB2) (HIV-1). One unit allows the stimulation of 2,5 x 10^8 cells. Protein function: [Gag polyprotein]: Mediates, with Gag-Pol polyprotein, the essential events in virion assembly, including binding the plasma membrane, making the protein-protein interactions necessary to create spherical particles, recruiting the viral Env proteins, and packaging the genomic RNA via direct interactions with the RNA packaging sequence (Psi).
