PG-013IL-15 Alternative Peptide

Fully-Chemically Synthesized Peptide
with Activity Equivalent to IL-15

PG-013 is a heterodimeric peptide that binds to IL-2Rβ and γc, inducing the dimerization of IL-2Rβ and γc and exhibiting IL-15–like activity.

PG-013 exhibits binding affinity for IL-2β/γc and agonist activity.

*This is for illustrative purpose.

PG-013 showed IL-15–equivalent activation of the JAK/STAT5 reporter and promoted the proliferation of KHYG-1 (human NK cell line).

Evaluation of NKT cell proliferation and activity

Frozen immature NKT cells were thawed and cultured for 10 days in medium containing either IL-15 or PG-013 to induce proliferation and maturation. The mature NKT cells were then evaluated for cell proliferation, and cytotoxicity activity against K562 cells. PG-013 induced robust cell proliferation (>12-fold increase), and yielded PG-013-matured NKT cells exhibited cytotoxic activity equivalent to or even exceeding that of IL-15-matured NKT cells.
