Polystyrene PHB cMAP 8 branch

Product information

Multiple Antigenic Peptides (MAPs) are peptides that are branched artificially, in which Lys residues are used as the scaffolding core. MAPs have a high molar ratio of the peptide antigen to the core molecule, and no carrier protein is needed to elicit an antibody response.
Acid treatment liberates the MAP-system, modified by ß-Ala at the C-terminus.
