HSV evades the immune system through interference with MHC class I antigen presentation on the cell surface, by blocking TAP or the transporter associated with antigen processing induced by the secretion of ICP-47 by HSV. In the host cell, TAP transports digested viral antigen epitope peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum, allowing these epitopes to be combined with MHC class I molecules and presented on the surface of the cell. Viral epitope presentation with MHC class I is a

The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homodimer and is involved in many redox reactions. The encoded protein is active in the reversible S-nitrosylation of cysteines in certain proteins, which is part of the response to intracellular nitric oxide. This protein is found in the cytoplasm. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

KT3-Tag antibody can recognize C-terminal, internal, and N-terminal KT3-tagged proteins.

Epitope tagging is a recombinant DNA method by which a protein encoded by a cloned gene is made immunoreactive to a known antibody. Major areas ofapplication include monitoring protein expression, localizing proteins at thecellular and subcellular levels, and protein purification, as well as the analysis of protein topology, dynamics and interactions. Due to their small size, theyare unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties.S1 tag is an epitope tag composed of a nine-r

CBP tag is a calmodulin-binding peptide, KRRWKKNFIAVSAANRFKKISSSGAL, derived from skeletal/cardiac muscle myosin light chain kinase 2.

Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) is a genetic mutant of green fluorescent protein (GFP) originally derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Its excitation peak is 514 nm and its emission peak is 527 nm. Like the parent GFP, YFP is a useful tool in cell and molecular biology thanks to its properties useful for fluorescence microscopy.
