Description
PADRE peptide is a universal peptidic epitope. PADRE peptide binds to pan HLA-DR receptors, present on specific T cells. PADRE peptide can be inserted into trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV) viral protein 1 (VP1) or hamster polyomavirus (HaPyV)-derived VP1 for construction of chimeric virus-like particles (VLPs), therefore activating dendritic cells and T cells and inducing strong immune responses and. PADRE peptide can be used for the development of vaccines[1]
