Vilon
Research context
Mouse thymocyte experiments examine the dipeptide Vilon (Lys-Glu) using blast transformation and membrane sphingomyelinase activity as readouts.
What has been studied
- Mouse thymocyte assays
Khavinson et al. (2002) examined the dipeptide Vilon (Lys-Glu) in mouse thymocytes, with blast transformation and membrane sphingomyelinase activity as readouts. The same assays included Epithalon and Cortagen as comparison peptides.
These labels restate the setting of the cited paper. They are not new findings and do not describe a catalog material.
