Insulin β Chain Peptide (15-23) 

Insulin β Chain Peptide (15-23) is one of the earliest antigenic epitopes to which CD8 T-cells respond^[1][2][3].

CD8 T-cells purified from 5- to 8-week-old G9Cα^−/−.NOD mice produces IFN-γ and TNF-α in response to Insulin β Chain Peptide (15-23) (1 μg/mL, 24 h)^[3].

Insulin β Chain Peptide (15-23) (50 μg, i.p.) together with CpG 1826 oligonucleotides promotes very rapid diabetes development in G9Cα^−/−.NOD mice^[3].
