Mitogenic Pentapeptide (Tripalmitoyl pentapeptide) is an effective activator of B lymphocyte mitogen and polyclonal. Mitogen Pentapeptide is a synthetic N-terminal analog of E. coli outer membrane lipoproteins (cysteinyl-seryl-seryl-asparaginyl-alanine). Mitogenic Pentapeptide can be used for the study of immune adjuvants[1][2].
