Ovalbumin (257-264) antigen peptide

OVA Peptide (257-264) is an MHC Class I (Kb) -restricted OVA polypeptide epitope, an octapeptide derived from ovalbumin presented by Class I MHC molecule H-2Kb.It can be used to stimulate T cell activation and activate the immune response of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) .OVA peptide (257-264) (injected intradermally at the base of the tail) combined with anti-CD4-monoclonal antibody increased the number of peptide-specific CTLs and showed a higher therapeutic effect against OVA-expressing tumors in mice. Spleen cells pulsed with OVA peptide (257-264) (250 μg-1mg) are sensitive to Poria cocos polysaccharide (PCP) . OVA peptide (257-264) can be used as a self-assembled nanovaccine (I-OVA NE), which enhances peptid-specific CD8+T cells and exhibits ova257-264 specific CTL activity and Th1 immune response. Mice anterior chamber inoculation of OVA Peptide (257-264) (250 μg) could induceanterior chamber associated immune deviation (ACAID) as evidenced by an impaired delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response .
