Influenza Control Pep Pool 25ug/pep

For immunology laboratories validating T-cell stimulation workflows, this lyophilized influenza peptide pool from STEMCELL Technologies provides a well-characterized positive control. Each vial contains a curated mixture of overlapping 15-mer peptides spanning conserved immunodominant epitopes of influenza virus proteins, supporting reproducible antigen-specific stimulation in ELISpot, intracellular cytokine staining (ICS), and multicolor flow cytometry panels.

The peptide content is supplied at 25 ug per peptide, allowing flexible reconstitution in sterile water or DMSO based on cell type and assay design. Researchers commonly use the reconstituted pool to stimulate human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or murine splenocytes, generating measurable interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), TNF-alpha, and IL-2 responses that confirm T-cell functionality. Applications extend to vaccine development, infectious disease monitoring, and immune competence studies in both in vitro and translational research settings, with broad reactivity across human and mouse T-cell repertoires.

Storage recommendation is at -20°C in a frost-free freezer, with reconstitution performed immediately before use; freeze-thaw cycles should be minimized to preserve peptide integrity and binding fidelity. The product is intended for research use only and is supplied in single-use vials to maintain consistency across experimental runs.
