CMV (pp65) Peptide Pool

The CMV (pp65) Peptide Pool is a lyophilized mixture of 138 peptides from the 65 kDa phosphoprotein (pp65) of human cytomegalovirus (CMV; strain AD169). pp65 has been shown to counteract the induction of interferon response by preventing the activation of interferon response factor 3 (IRF-3). pp65 is also important in inducing transcription of viral immediate-early promoter. The pool consists of 15-mer peptides with 11-amino-acid overlaps that cover amino acids 1 - 561 on pp65.
