Peptides

SARS Peptides

Individual peptides for SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. In order to study the specificity of cellular immune responses against SARS CoV-2 and potential immunity caused by other human Corona Viruses, Abcepta provides Spike peptide individually, as pools and in plate. These peptides can be used for antigen specific T-cell stimulation in T-cell assays or T-cell expansion.

Cell/Tissues/Lysates

Abcepta's portfolio of cell lines, tissues and lysates are drawn from a range of species and immortalized cell lines. All our cell lines and lysates are validated in key applications.

These tissue lysates can be used in applications such as SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Whole cell lysates can be used as positive controls for applications such as ELISAs, immunoprecipitation (IP) and Western blotting. Obtaining high-quality whole cell lysates can be tedious as well as time consuming. Abcepta offers a comprehensive portfolio of whole cell lysates for research use. Browse our catalog to find the right whole cell lysate for your experiment.

Name	CRYAA
Synonyms	CRYA1, HSPB4
Function	Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens (PubMed:18302245). In its oxidized form (absence of intramolecular disulfide bond), acts as a chaperone, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions (PubMed:18199971, PubMed:19595763, PubMed:22120592, PubMed:31792453). Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA (PubMed:28935373).
Cellular Location	Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Translocates to the nucleus during heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear structures known as SC35 speckles or nuclear splicing speckles
Tissue Location	Expressed in the eye lens (at protein level).
