HBcAg (HBV) (18 – 27)

<p>HBcAg (HBV) (18-27) is a high-purity synthetic peptide representing the HLA-A<em>0201-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope of Hepatitis B virus core antigen. This 10-amino acid peptide (FLPSDFFPSV) corresponds to residues 18-27 of the HBV core protein and serves as a key immunogenic epitope recognized by CD8⁺ T cells. Manufactured under stringent quality controls with HPLC-verified purity and comprehen…

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

HBcAg (HBV) (18-27) functions as a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted epitope that is processed and presented by antigen-presenting cells. After uptake and proteolytic processing, the peptide binds to HLA-A0201 molecules on the cell surface, forming stable MHC-peptide complexes. These complexes are recognized by T cell receptors (TCRs) on CD8⁺ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, leading to T cell activation, proliferation, and effector functions including cytokine production and cytotoxic activity against HBV-infected cells. The peptide's specific sequence (FLPSDFFPSV) contains anchor residues that confer high binding affinity to HLA-A0201, making it an immunodominant epitope in HBV infection and vaccination contexts.
