This is amino acids 25 to 33 fragment of human melanoma antigen gp100. This H-2Db restricted epitope is recognized by T cells. The gp100-specific, H-2Db-restricted, CD8+ T cells are capable of recognizing B16 melanoma but not normal melanocytes. This peptide was used as an immunogen in multiple cancer immunotherapy studies.

YMLDLQPET is a linear peptidic epitope (epitope ID 75074) studied as part of Protein E7 from Alphapapillomavirus 9.

A more potent suppressor of neuronal cell death than humanin (HN), 10nM of this Gly14 substituted HN blocked cytotoxicity compared to 10uM of HN.

This peptide is a 1 to 20 amino acid fragment of the interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP). IRBP is a 140-kDa glycolipoprotein residing in the interphotoreceptor matrix between the neural retina and the retinal pigment epithelium. Human IRBP peptide 1-20 contains a major epitope for the H-2b haplotype. Immunization with IRBP (1 – 20) induces T-cell–mediated experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) disease. The pathology of disease induced by the peptide, or by adoptive transfer of cells specific to the peptide, is similar to that induced by the whole IRBP protein.
